1.5°C still alive, but most likely in 2100

How’s this for a confusing bit of gobbledygook from the Met OfficeUKMO The Meteorological Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service. It is an executive agency and trading fund of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy about the 1.5°C rise in global temperatures. The title seems to suggest that 1.5°C will be realised in 2100 but that’s not what the article says. It may reach it before then and overshooting it, before falling back to +1.5°C by 2100. They seem to have side-stepped the $64,000 dollar question, which is of course when will global temperatures reach the much hyped 1.5°C higher than in pre-industrial times?
