State of the Climate in 2024
The global annual average night marine air temperature (NMAT) for 2024 was 0.44°C above the 1991–2020 baseline in the University of Alabama in Huntsville Night Marine Air Temperature (UAHNMAT; Junod and Christy 2020) dataset and 0.54°C in the Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science Night Marine Air Temperature (CLASSnmat; Cornes et al. 2020) dataset. These values represent the highest in the record dating to 1900 and are 0.04°C higher than those of 2023 in both datasets.
