12 months of record heat

Data: ERA5; Chart: Tory Lysik/Axios Visuals
May was the 12th consecutive month to set a global average temperature record, Axios' Andrew Freedman reports.

  • The new data comes amid a slew of findings from climate monitoring groups released today.
Caveat: This is not the longest stretch on record of warmest months, which stands at 15.

  • However, it is the longest streak to reach or exceed the Paris Agreement's aspirational target of limiting global warming to as low as 1.5°C compared to preindustrial levels.
The big picture: The news comes as parts of Asia, Mexico, Central America and the southwestern U.S. have baked from withering heat waves.

  • Actions to limit climate change, meanwhile, have been crowded out on the international agenda amid geopolitical strife, economic concerns and more.
