On the 10th local time, the World Meteorological Organization quoted a report from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the European Union's climate monitoring agency, that the world has just experienced the hottest April on record, and the global average monthly temperature has refreshed the highest value for the same period for 11 consecutive months.

The monthly report notes that the duration of record temperatures has been extended as global warming fueled by the El Niño phenomenon and greenhouse gases from human activities. According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the global average surface temperature reached 15.03 degrees Celsius in April this year, breaking the previous record of 14.89 degrees Celsius set in April 2016 and 1.58 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial average for the same period (1850 to 1900).
According to the Paris Agreement's warming target, the global average temperature increase should be limited to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, and efforts should be made to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. According to the World Meteorological Organization, a temperature rise of more than 1.5 degrees Celsius in a single month does not mean that the ideal temperature target set by the Paris Agreement is not met, which refers to long-term warming control over a period of several decades.
