Dec 25, 2024, 03:23 AM
Japan's average temperature for 2024 is projected to be the highest on record, exceeding the norm by 1.64°C, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). This marks the second consecutive year of record-high temperatures, with both Japan and the world experiencing unprecedented warming. The JMA has indicated that the average temperature for the year will surpass previous records, highlighting the impact of climate change. Reports also confirm that sea surface temperatures are expected to reach similar record highs. The agency's officials have described the situation as indicative of 'abnormal high temperatures' and have underscored the urgent need for climate action as rapid extinction events loom due to rising global temperatures.
