April This was the eleventh month in a row warmest in the world Since such records were recorded, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the climate monitoring component of the European space program, reported this Wednesday.
Fourth month of this year 2024 was globally warmer than any previous April The average surface air temperature recorded was 15.03°C, 0.67°C above the April 1991-2020 average and 0.14°C above the previous high recorded in April 2016.
This is the 11th consecutive warmest month on record, according to the Bonn, Germany-based institution’s monthly bulletin published this Wednesday.
Although unusual, similar series of monthly records a drop in global temperatures was previously observed in 2015/2016.
It was a month 1.58°C warmer than the estimate of the April average for 1850-1900.
The average global temperature over the past twelve months (May 2023 to April 2024) is the highest on record: 0.73 ºC above the 1991–2020 average and 1.61 ºC above the pre-industrial 1850–2020 average. 1900

The average European temperature for April was 1.49°C above the average April temperature 1991-2020, making the month the second warmest April on record for the continent.
In the eastern regions of Europe, temperatures were above average. Fenoscandia and Iceland recorded below-average temperatures.
Outside of Europe, temperatures were above average in northern and northeastern North America. GreenlandEastern Asia, northwestern Middle East, parts of South America and most of Africa.
El Niño in the eastern equatorial Pacific continued to weaken to neutral conditions, but overall sea air temperatures remained unusually high.
The global average sea surface temperature in April 2024 was 21.04°C, the highest recorded for the month and slightly lower than the 21.07°C recorded in March.
This is the 13th month in a row where sea surface temperatures have been the warmest on record for that month of the year.
According to Carlo Buontempo of the Copernicus Climate Change organization, although temperature fluctuations associated with natural cycles such as El Niño come and go, “additional energy retained in the ocean and atmosphere due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases will continue to push global temperatures to new levels.” records.”
In its turn, Arctic sea ice extent was about 2% below average.a relatively small negative anomaly compared to April anomalies recorded over the past ten years.
Antarctic sea ice extent was 9% below average, the 10th lowest for April based on satellite data, continuing a trend of frequent large negative anomalies seen since 2017.
As in February and March, sea ice concentrations were below average in the northern Weddell Sea and Ross-Amundsen Sea sector.
