GENEVA - Global temperatures will continue to warm over the next five years, and may even temporarily rise to more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the World Meteorological Organisation said on Thursday .
But it does show the warming trend continuing apace, underlining the"enormous challenge" the world faces in meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement's goal of curbing climate-warming emissions enough to keep the rise in temperatures"well below" 2C, said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. Southern Africa and Australia, where bushfires last year razed millions of acres, will probably be dryer than usual through 2024, while Africa's Sahel region will likely be wetter, the WMO said. Europe should see more storms, while the northern North Atlantic will be windier.
However, the world will probably not reach the long-term 1.5C warming threshold for at least another decade.
