>Scientists are “virtually certain” this year will be the world’s hottest since records began, eclipsing the highs of 2023.
>It comes as temperatures climbed to 17.8°C at Kinloss in Scotland on Wednesday, and 17.9°C in Thomastown in Ireland. The Met Office said Kinloss could even be hotter on Thursday, reaching a high of 18°C.
>The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said that from January to October, the average global temperature had been so high that 2024 was sure to be the world’s hottest year. The temperature anomaly – the departure from a long-term average or baseline value – in the rest of the year would need to plunge to an unprecedented near-zero for this not to be the case.
>This year’s global-average temperature anomaly is 0.71°C above the 1991-2020 average, the highest on record for this period and 0.16°C warmer than the same period in 2023.
Crazy I was walking round Ellon in north Scotland in just a Tshirt last night so mild!!!

Was sweating cycling into work this morning. Mad.

At least it’ll save on heating.
