October 2024 becomes second-warmest month globally in last 50 years

After a record-breaking warm October in 2023, this year's October has taken second place in the ranking of the warmest months in the last 50 years, according to the European Copernicus Climate Change Service, AzVision.az reports, citing TASS.

The average monthly surface air temperature was 15.25 degrees Celsius, which is 0.05 degrees lower than in October 2023, the agency specified. October 2024 ranked second globally for the warmest month on record, with a 0.8-degree Celsius deviation from the climatic norm.

In Russia, October 2024 was ranked 12th among the "warmest," with October 2018 in first place.

The average monthly norm is the average temperature for any month over a 30-year (base) period. Meteorologists calculate recent data based on the period from 1991-2020, following the recommendation of the World Meteorological Congress. The deviation is calculated as the difference between the norm and the actual monthly temperature.
