Scientists at Imperial and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine used peer-reviewed techniques to calculate that ...

A rise in global temperatures to almost 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels would likely ...

Not only are Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees different sizes (each Celsius degree covers more of the scale) they have different baselines. Fortunately, there are easier ways to convert temperatures ...

That’s why, when the world passed the first 12-month period of temperatures over 1.5 degrees Celsius in February 2024, scientists warned that this didn’t mean the end of the target.

Temperatures in Bangkok fell as low as 59.3 degrees Fahrenheit (15.2 degrees Celsius) on Monday, the lowest the capital has seen in years, as the country’s weather agency warned cool conditions ...

We will, however, need a little luck on our side. Staying within 1.5 degrees Celsius also depends on how the climate responds to the emissions we put into the atmosphere in the meantime.

Climate science shows that beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, impacts in the U.S. get substantially worse. The world is on track for almost double that level of warming by the end of the century.

With each degree Celsius of warming, the air can hold 7% more water vapor. This means record rainfall, resulting in floods, mudslides, and erosion.

This year won’t just be the hottest on record—it could be the first to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Paris climate accord aims to keep warming below that level when looking over multiple years.

A heating degree day (HDD) is the degrees that a day's average temperature is below 65 Fahrenheit (18 Celsius), used to quantify the demand for energy.

The city’s lowest recorded temperature was around 49 degrees Fahrenheit (9.9 degrees Celsius) on January 12, 1955, according to data from the meteorological department.
