2024 Year-to-Date Temperatures Versus Previous Years

This graphic compares the year-to-date temperature anomalies for 2024 (black line) to what were ultimately the ten warmest years on record: 2023 (1st), 2016 (2nd), 2020 (3rd), 2019 (4th), 2017 (5th), 2015 (6th), 2022 (7th), 2018 (8th), 2021 (8th), and 2014 (10th). Each month along each trace represents the year-to-date average temperature anomaly. In other words, the January value is the January average temperature anomaly, the February value is the average anomaly of both January and February, and so on.

The Januaryโ€“June global surface temperature ranked warmest in the 175-year record at 1.29ยฐC (2.32ยฐF) above the 20th century average of 13.5ยฐC (56.2ยฐF).

The anomalies themselves represent departures from the 20th century average temperature. The graph zooms into the warmest part of the entire history.
