Environment and Climate Change Canada’s latest global mean temperature forecast indicates that 2026 will likely be among the hottest years on record, comparable to 2023 and 2025, and approaching 2024, which remains the warmest year ever observed.
The predicted global mean temperature range is 1.35°C to 1.53°C above pre-industrial levels, marking the 13th consecutive year of temperatures exceeding 1.0°C above pre-industrial levels.
