Climate scientist Gavin Schmidt says global warming may be moving beyond ability of experts to predict what happens next.
Schmidt says the broader global heating trends are starting to move back in the direction of forecasts.
Schmidt said he hoped a clearer picture would emerge by the time of the American Geophysical Union meeting in December .
Temperatures above 50 C used to be a rarity confined to two or three global hotspots.
At least 10 countries have reported searing heat in the past year : the US , Mexico , Morocco , Algeria , Saudi Arabia , Kuwait , Iran , Pakistan , India and China .
Schmidt says there is a 72 percent chance that 2024 will beat last year’s heat record.
