October 2025, the Third Warmest October on Record

Handout photo dated on 2025 shows The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has published its latest monthly Climate Bulletin, which focuses on key climate trends in October 2025. The bulletin reports that October 2025 was the third-warmest October globally, with an average surface air temperature of 15.14°C, 0.70°C above the 1991-2020 average for the month. This data visualisation, produced using C3S data, illustrates the surface air temperature anomalies across part of the Northern Hemisphere in October 2025. Warmer-than-average temperatures have been observed over much of northern and western Europe, where the average temperature was 10.19°C, 0.60°C above the average for the month. The Arctic Ocean northeast of Svalbard and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago have also been particularly affected, with surface air temperature anomalies reaching up to 8 °C above average.

Arctic Ocean Scientific Expedition

Scientific expedition team members retrieve a benthic lander while conducting scientific research in the Arctic Ocean aboard China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2, Aug. 14, 2025. China's research icebreaker Xuelong 2, or Snow Dragon 2, arrived in Shanghai on Friday, marking the completion of the country's hitherto largest Arctic Ocean scientific expedition. A total of 100 members of China's 15th Arctic Ocean scientific expedition were aboard the vessel. Organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources, this round of Arctic survey was jointly carried out by four vessels, including Xuelong 2, Jidi, Shenhai-1 and Tansuo-3. This Arctic expedition has further enhanced China's understanding of the rapid changes in the Arctic Ocean and their impacts, providing important support for a deeper understanding and effective response to global climate change, according to the researchers.
