Typical temperature levels are revealed in white, higher-than-normal temperature levels in orange and red, and lower-than-normal temperature levels in blue. International temperature levels last year were around 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 degrees Celsius) above the average for NASAs baseline duration (1951-1980), researchers from NASAs Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York reported.NASAs Response to the Climate Crisis”NASA and NOAAs global temperature report validates what billions of people around the world experienced last year; we are dealing with a climate crisis,” stated NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. Scientists anticipate to see the most significant impacts of El Niño in February, March, and April.This data visualization, which is upgraded monthly, shows the seasonal cycle of temperature level variation on the Earths surface, and how those temperature levels deviate from the average from 1951 to 1980. Higher than regular temperatures are revealed in red and lower-than-normal temperatures are shown in blue.
