2026 'most likely' to be second-hottest year on record

The world is on track for 2026 to be the second-hottest year on record, with global temperatures virtually certain to exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, the EU's climate monitor said Friday.

This year also has a "20 percent chance of tying or exceeding" 2024 as the warmest ever seen, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said in a monthly bulletin.
