BRUSSELS: Dunia mengalami Januari paling panas dalam rekod, meneruskan trend suhu global yang melampau, lapor Agensi Berita Emirates (WAM), memetik saintis Kesatuan Eropah pada Khamis.
Ini berlaku walaupun terdapat jangkaan bahawa keadaan La Nina yang lebih sejuk mungkin dapat meredakan gelombang panas yang memecahkan rekod.
Januari meneruskan siri suhu tinggi yang luar biasa, dengan 18 daripada 19 bulan terakhir mencatatkan suhu purata global lebih daripada 1.5 darjah Celsius di atas tahap praindustri, menurut Perkhidmatan Perubahan Iklim Copernicus Kesatuan Eropah (C3S) dalam buletin bulanannya.
Ini berlaku walaupun dunia sedang beralih daripada corak pemanasan El Nino yang menyumbang kepada 2024 menjadi tahun paling panas dalam rekod ke arah La Nina yang lebih sejuk, yang melibatkan penyejukan Pasifik Khatulistiwa dan boleh meredakan suhu global.
Suhu purata global pada Januari adalah 1.75°C lebih tinggi daripada zaman praindustri.
Secara global, suhu permukaan laut secara purata pada Januari adalah yang kedua tertinggi dalam rekod untuk bulan itu, hanya melepasi Januari 2024.

KOTA KINABALU: A woman was rushed to hospital after being bitten by a snake while evacuating from a flood-hit village in Keningau.
The victim, believed to be in her 60s, was wading through floodwaters in Kampung Kauran when the snake struck, sinking its fangs into her left hand.
She was attempting to reach higher ground amid rising waters when she was attacked, according to the Civil Defence Force.
Emergency responders transported her to Hospital Keningau at 10.38pm on Wednesday for treatment. Her condition is reported to be stable.
Heavy rains have submerged at least 11 low-lying areas in Keningau and Kinabatangan, displacing at least 66 people in Keningau alone.
A flood emergency was declared in Keningau at 1am yesterday, with evacuees relocated to a temporary relief centre.
The total number of displaced residents across flood-hit areas, including Kinabatangan, has risen to 319 from 81 families across 76 affected villages in the two districts.
Residents here have been advised to remain vigilant and be prepared for the possibility of further flooding.
Bintulu Zone 5 Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) chief Wan Kamarudin Wan Ahmad said while weather forecast predicted no continuous downpours that could cause flooding like last week, the department was not underestimating the situation.
“Although we are not expecting heavy rain, we are always on standby with our personnel and logistical support ready to respond if another flood occurs in Bintulu,” he said.
He said the department has distributed informational pamphlets to Bintulu residents, outlining the necessary action to take before, during and after a flood to ensure their safety, Bernama reported.
On Wednesday night, Bintulu saw several areas, including Kidurong and Sungai Plan, submerged again.
Wan Kamarudin said the Bintulu JBPM with its 60 personnel and assets, which include three trucks and six boats, was fully equipped to handle any potential flooding.
“Nearby fire stations in Kidurong and Samalaju are also on standby to provide additional support if needed,” he said.
As of yesterday morning, 1,864 flood victims were at six temporary relief centres in Bintulu.
