The UN's World Meteorological Organization said claimed that there are 66 percent chance that the annual surface temperature will surpass the 1.5C above the pre-industrial levels for at least one of the years 2013-2017, and the temperature will range between 1.1C to 1.8C in these five years.

The predictions toss the 2015 Paris goal of capping global warming at below two degrees Celsius above average levels measured between 1850 and 1900.

The hottest eight years ever recorded were between 2015 and 2022.

"There is 98 percent likelihood that at least one of the five years and the five-year period as a whole will be the warmest years on record," WMO said.

Now as it is evident that 2023-2027 will be the warmest years ever recorded the UN on Wednesday warned as greenhouse gases and El Nino will create a soaring temperature.

The WMO claimed that the increase in temperature will not be a permanent phenomenon and doesn't mean that we exceed the Paris benchmark. the 1.5C level remains for some time with increasing frequency.


Since 1960 the global mean land and sea temperature has been increasing. However, the chances of temperature temporarily exceeding 1.5C above 1850-1990 have increased since 2015.

As there are 66 percent chances that the temperature will exceed 1.5C in one of the years between 2023-2027, now 32 percent chances are that the temperature will raise 1.5C entire 5 years duration.
