Global average global temperature was 60.42F (15.79C) - 0.95F (0.53C) above the 1991-2020 average for May .

May 2024 was the May record-holder, May 2024 , with a global average temperature of 60.6F.

Worryingly, experts point to human-cased greenhouse gas emissions as the cause for this latest temperature 'anomaly'.

Lastly, May 2025 saw Arctic sea ice 2 per cent below average, the ninth -lowest monthly extent for May in the 47-year satellite record. Overall, the various indicators from CS3 once again suggest there are long-term changes happening to the global climate..
