2026 is on track to be one of 4 warmest years on record, marked by exceptional global temperatures, melting ice, rising sea levels, and a very strong El Niño that will unleash more heat & extreme weather into 2027.
New WMO #StateOfClimate #COP31 Update
↪️ bit.ly/stateofclimateCOP31pr
At #COP31, co-Presidents @turkiyecop31 and Australia announced an unprecedented call to action to protect the global climate observing system, amid unanimous declarations of support to protect the observing system which protects us.

Dialogue, consensus, and action—the @turkiyecop31 core principles—underpin a shared need for reliable, timely and authoritative climate information.
Join WMO in exploring the climate info services cycle: from reading the climate signal to taking action.

Many vulnerable countries still lack the data needed to prepare for increasingly extreme weather.
At the @turkiyecop31 @UNFCCC Pavilion, WMO’s Celeste Saulo will show how observations help understand the climate, anticipate risks & drive action.

#COP31
Gaps in the global climate observing system make it harder to track progress, monitor adaptation & provide early warnings.
At #COP31 w/ @UNFCCC, we explored how coordination, protecting observations & closing gaps can secure the observations we depend on.

Global observing systems face growing challenges, from funding uncertainty to infrastructure vulnerabilities & data gaps.
At #COP31, we’ll engage w/ @UNFCCC, GCOS & partners to strengthen coordination and mobilize long-term support.

As climate-related disasters intensify, communities need stronger skills, tools and partnerships to anticipate risks, communicate warnings effectively & translate information into timely action.
Watch this #COP31 training.

WMO is bringing the science on the state of the Earth’s climate to @turkiyecop31.
From presenting on GHGs, heat & health, early warnings & El Niño response, to investments in Earth observations, WMO will put science at the heart of #COP31.
Join us! 🔗 bit.ly/WMOatCOP31
Indicators help us understand how climate impacts lives, identify risks, enable early warnings and guide decisions that protects our future.
A special WMO Global #StateOfClimate report releases at @turkiyecop31 to provide the latest science on our changing climate.
Stay tuned.
A tsunami doesn’t have to be deadly. Early warnings and early action can protect people, save lives, and prevent a hazard from becoming a disaster.
From ocean buoys and satellites to alert sirens, observations must reach people in time for them to take action.

Sea-surface temperatures in the central & eastern tropical Pacific continue to rise as El Niño approaches its forecast peak in December. El Niño is nearly certain to persist through Feb 2027 and could be one of the strongest since at least 1950. bit.ly/4hFr1XD
The recipe for a perfect ski day depends on weather, snow & climate. ⛷️
A new WMO & @FIS_news report explores how the changes in weather and climate affect skiing, plus a practical tools for day-to-day operations, seasonal & long-term planning.

Carbon dioxide accounts for two thirds of the warming effect on our climate from GHGs, followed by methane and nitrous oxide. The WMO community also monitors other long-lived gases of potential concern, highlighting the need for continuous observations.

Incredible display of lights above the Gap of Dunloe in County Kerry, Ireland, captured during a solar storm around this time of the year in 2024!
Solar storms can produce spectacular auroras, sometimes visible much farther from the poles than usual.
This El Niño comes on the top of an already heating planet. In cities already struggling with heat, its effects can reach inside homes, workplaces, schools and hospitals.
But cities can prepare. Read on 👉 bit.ly/3WgzGaP
