Earth's average surface temperature in 2024 was the warmest on record, according to an analysis led by NASA scientists. Global temperatures in 2024 were around 1.28 degrees Celsius above the agency’s 20th century baseline (1951-1980). That is equal to a 2.30 degree Fahrenheit change and exceeds the record set in 2023. NASA scientists also estimate Earth in 2024 was about 1.47 degrees Celsius (2.65 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the mid-19th century average (1850-1900).

The Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) maintains NASA’s surface temperature record.
