Globally 2024 warmest on record +1.6°C above the pre-industrial era

I make the mean global temperature anomaly in 2024 a full 1.6°C above the LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO. in pre-industrial times. This is warmest year in the series which started in 1940, and is around 0.12°C warmer than it was in 2023. If it warms at the same rate as it’s done over the last 30 years, linear trends suggest that a 30 year average of +1.5°C will occur in just over five years time, in July 2030.
