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.
