The recent exceptional warming peak in 2023/2024 is dissipating, and near-term temperatures are expected to return closer to the long-term trend.

However, the rapid pace of man-made global warming is expected to continue, and more record years are inevitable.

With six months completed, 2025 is very likely to finish as either the 2nd warmest (35% chance) or 3rd warmest (64% chance) year on record.

Following recent cooling, only a slight 1% chance of record warmth in 2025 remains.

11/

The Pacific Ocean remains in a neutral condition.

An ~50% chance exists that neutral conditions continue through the rest of the year, with a ~40% chance of La Niña returning late in the year, and only a modest chance of El Niño developing.

The global ocean average has continued to cool since the El Niño related peak in 2023/2024.

Since April, the ocean average has fallen below the long-term trend. Modest additional cooling remains likely.

Relative to the long-term trend, June had one of the strongest temperature excursions on record in the Western Mediterranean.

A slightly larger excursion occurred in June 2003, preceding severe July & August heat waves that killed ~70,000 Europeans.

June 2025 saw record warmth in the Western Mediterranean Sea.

This pattern, associated with the June heat dome over Western Europe, may further promote strong heat waves in Europe during the rest of summer.

July 11, 2025 at 12:40 PM
A relatively modest 3% of the Earth's surface registered a locally record high monthly average during June 2025 (4% of oceans / 2% of land).

No significant areas had near record lows.

6/
July 11, 2025 at 12:40 PM
Spatially, warmth remained widespread in June 2025, though monthly average records were relatively rare.

Warmth was particularly noteworthy in Western Europe and Central Asia.

Unusual cooling was present in India, Australia, and S. America.

On land June 2025 was nearly identical to May 2025, continuing the sharp cooling observed last month.

Nevertheless, the land average was still the fifth warmest for June in the observational record.

July 11, 2025 at 12:40 PM
The relative cooling in May and June 2025 has fallen below the long-term trend line.

The exceptional warmth in 2023/2024 appears to have dissipated, and in the short-term we expect global means to stay closer to the long-term trend.

3/
July 11, 2025 at 12:40 PM
The global average temperature in June 2025 was 1.31 ± 0.10°C (2.36 ± 0.19 °F) above the 1850-1900 average, the 3rd warmest directly measured June.

This was only slightly cooler than May 2025, but is sharply lower than the first few months of 2025.

Temperature Update for June 2025

Third warmest June in the instrumental record.

Similar conditions to May, but sharply cooler than earlier in 2025.

Neutral conditions in the Pacific.

2025 is very likely to be the 2nd or 3rd warmest year.

2025 is very likely to finish as either the 2nd warmest (50% chance) or 3rd warmest (45% chance) year on record.

Following the sharp relative cooling in May, only a modest 5.8% chance of record warmth in 2025 remains.

The Pacific El Niño / La Niña region remains in a neutral state.

Neutral conditions are forecast by CPC/IRI to continue for some months. A moderate chance of La Niña and a small chance of El Niño follows late in 2025.

India in May 2025 saw unusually frequent and intense thunderstorms, an early start to the seasonal monsoon, and record high monthly rainfall.

In combination, these factors helped keep May temperatures down in some areas to a level not seen for over 100 years.

June 11, 2025 at 11:32 AM
A relatively modest 4% of the Earth's surface registered a locally record high monthly average during May 2025 (5% of oceans / 1% of land).

Unusually, areas in northern Maharashtra and southwest Madhya Pradesh India obtained near record lows.

Spatially, warmth remained widespread in May 2025, though monthly average records were relatively rare.

Warmth was particularly noteworthy in the Middle East and in the oceans around the United Kingdom.

Unusual cooling was present in India.

The month-to-month downward shift was even more abrupt on land, registering as the third largest change of any April to May on record.

Nevertheless, the land average was still sufficiently warm to register as the 5th warmest land-average for May on record.
