Schmidt, G.A., and Z. Hausfather, 2025: Global mean surface temperature anomalies in 2023/2024: Towards understanding the influencing factors. In State of the Global Climate 2024, WMO-No. 1368, World Meteorological Organization, pp. 23-24.

The records in global mean surface temperature set in 2023 and 2024 occurred in the context of rising temperatures driven by a continued increase in emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, despite the transition from La Niña to El Niño, the specific magnitudes of the anomaly in 2023 (and to a lesser extent that in 2024) drew attention for being at the edge of, or outside of, ranges from individual forecasts. According to some analyses, they were at the far end of what has been expected from climate model estimates of trends plus internal variability.
