🚨 All latitude bands observed warmer than normal temperatures in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the largest departures were in the Arctic region. [Plot shows zonal-mean surface air temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data: NASA/GISS GISTEMPv4; 1951-1980 anomaly baseline]
