The nine years spanning 2013-2021 all rank among the 10 hottest on record, according to an annual report a US agency released Thursday,For 2021, the average temperature across global surfaces was 1.51 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average, making the year the sixth-hottest in the overall record, which goes back to 1880.
NOAA uses the 21-year span from 1880 to 1900 as a surrogate to assess pre-industrial conditions, and found the 2021 global land and ocean temperature was 1.87F above the average. The impacts have been increasingly felt in recent years – including record-shattering wildfires across Australia and Siberia, a once-in-1,000-years heatwave in North America and extreme rainfall that caused massive flooding in Asia, Africa, the US and Europe.
