In November 2025, land areas worldwide were +2.01 °C warmer than the 1901–1930 average, according to NASA's GISTEMP v4 analysis, compared with +2.01 °C in November 2024. That makes it the 2nd warmest November in 146 years of records. The record for this month remains November 2023 (+2.19 °C).

From January to November, 2025 averages +1.99 °C — the 2nd warmest start to a year since 1880.

Over the 12 months ending in November 2025, the land average is +2.02 °C, against +2.15 °C over the previous 12 months. The highest 12-month average remains the one ending in August 2024 (+2.21 °C).

These figures cover land areas only. Land warms faster than the ocean, so the values are higher than the combined land-and-ocean averages usually quoted.

Sources and method

  • Temperatures: NASA GISS, GISTEMP v4, monthly mean over land areas, rebased to 1901–1930 (file of November 14, 2026).
  • Ranks use the months known at the date of the report. NASA slightly revises past values at each update, so figures can move by a few hundredths of a degree.
  • CO₂: NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory, Mauna Loa Observatory.
