In June 2026, land areas worldwide were +1.74 °C warmer than the 1901–1930 average, according to NASA's GISTEMP v4 analysis, compared with +1.69 °C in June 2025. That makes it the 2nd warmest June in 147 years of records. The record for this month remains June 2024 (+2.08 °C).
From January to June, 2026 averages +1.94 °C — the 5th warmest start to a year since 1880.
Over the 12 months ending in June 2026, the land average is +1.89 °C, against +2.12 °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.
