Paris, France | AFP

Global temperatures were stuck at near-record highs in April, the climate change monitor Copernicus said Thursday, extending a prolonged and exceptional heat streak that has lasted nearly two years.

“Globally, April 2025 was the second-hottest April on record, continuing the long sequence of months” with temperatures more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial baseline, said Samantha Burgess from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, which runs Copernicus.
