January 2025 has been recorded as the warmest January ever, with an average temperature of 13.23 degrees Celsius. This record comes despite the presence of La Nina, and it follows a year where the Earth experienced unprecedented global temperatures. La Nina’s typical cooling effects appear increasingly irrelevant as rising temperatures persist.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported that January 2025 was the warmest on record, with an average temperature of 13.23 degrees Celsius, surpassing January 2024’s previous record by 0.09 degrees. Despite the presence of La Nina, typically associated with cooler global temperatures, the trend of rising temperatures has persisted. This recent warm January follows a year in which the Earth recorded its hottest average temperatures ever, surpassing the pre-industrial average significantly.
La Nina is a climate phenomenon characterized by cooler surface waters in the Central Pacific Ocean, influencing global weather patterns. Although typically associated with cooler temperatures, its effects appear to be overshadowed by broader climate trends, as evidenced by the continuing increase in global temperatures. The impact of human activities and climate change has led to record-breaking warming, challenging the stability of weather patterns historically linked to La Nina.
The data illustrates a concerning trend of rising global temperatures, with January 2025 marking a new record for warmth despite La Nina’s cooling influence. The current climate situation signals a need for urgent attention to climate change impacts, as the planet’s temperature consistently remains above critical thresholds. This reinforces the importance of adhering to international climate agreements aimed at mitigating long-term warming effects.
