Washington (ap) — for the ninth straight month, earth has obliterated global heat records — with february, the winter as a whole and the world’s oceans setting new high temperature marks. February had a global average surface temperature that was 1.59°c (2.86°f) above the preindustrial average. this made it the 19th month out of the past 20 to exceed 1.5°c above the preindustrial level. the 1.5°c threshold is an aspirational temperature target under the paris climate agreement. The weather pattern, which typically occurs every three to five years, is associated with the periodic cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east central equatorial pacific. it come after el niño pushed temperatures “off the chart” in 2023 and 2024, the hottest year on record.
