the World Meteorological Organization (Omm), one of the main international authorities in monitoring climate change, withdraws again a year of the record … The absolute in all aspects that have been closely monitored since 1993.
In 2024, the oceans continued to heat and sea level, and rose at an unprecedented pace. The average air temperature was 1.5 degrees above the pre -industrial era for the first time, and last year was raised to “the free registrar in 175 years”, after ten others from Records Sequence and CryosFera, the frozen part of the surface of the earth, “still dissolves at an anxious pace.”
These are the consequences of global warming that scientists warn: “Many of them will be irreversible for hundreds, but thousands of years.” Of all these climatic indicators, they are reported periodically with Data To leave a small place for doubts. But the reality goes beyond theoretical calculations. On the ground, this is translated into increasingly frequent extremist meteorological phenomena. “The economic and social turmoil from these are huge,” said Cilest Solo, Secretary -General of the Secretary -General of OMM.
These include radical expressions of tropical and higher hurricanes, long -term dehydration and large fires. But also floods and floods of rivers, such as those recorded last October in Valencia. People who have been displaced in this Mediterranean region are a sample, close and ideal, and how the weather extracts their lives from millions of people in the world for climatic reasons.
John Kennedy, a world -class coordination world Valentine disaster For “very high effect”. The flood has been indicated on the map of natural disasters along with the major fires in Canada and the United States or drought in Africa.
In this regard, people were directly affected by climate change, and in 2024 it was an exceptional year: he has recorded the largest number of new displacement operations for people caused by these severe phenomena in 16 years, that is, since 2008.

This time, the Earth is not recorded annually with an average of high temperatures like those in 2024.

The caloric content accumulated by the oceans, responsible for storing 90 % of the energy besieged by greenhouse gases, has reached its highest level in this time period.

This is what the sea level rises every year, twice what he did in the 1990s.
Despite the difficulty of dealing with a global figure, such as Omar Badbur, head of the Climate Policy and Monitoring Department, it can highlight concrete events that give an idea of the size of the problem.
For example, drought – which flows with high food prices and local conflicts – has exacerbated food crises that are modified in up to 18 countries around the world, “especially in Africa”.
Next to it, tropical hurricanes, which are considered the “largest influence” events in 2024. The worst was the Yagi Hurricane that struck Vietnam, the Philippines and South China.
Hurricanes and hurricanes, the most destructive
In the United States, Helen and Milton left economic losses to tens of billions of dollars and “more than 200 deaths”. This is the largest amount recorded by a hurricane in the United States from Katrina in 2005, according to OMM diagnosis.
On the other hand, the floods in Brazil caused internal displacement – within the country’s borders – which includes 775,000 people, according to the IDMC International Monitoring Center. Finally, the tropical Hurricane Chido transported 100,000 people in Mozambique and left the victims and economic losses in the Indian Ocean and Malawi.
However, there is already a closed number, the latter predicts that 2024 will exceed 6.6 million people who live in the event of internal displacement due to climate disasters of different types. In the past ten years, there has already been an average of 21.9 million annual internal displacement related to meteorological disasters, according to IDMC.
Claiming weather data
To protect the population, from the work in which it works so that all countries in the world have an effective early warning system. They emphasized that there was something vitally proven in episodes such as Valencia. Currently, only half of the countries have one.
“Awmi and the global community are intensifying their efforts to strengthen Early warning systems Climate services in order to help those responsible for making decisions and society in general to be more flexible in harsh weather and climate phenomena. We advance, but we must advance more quickly. Celeste Solo, Secretary -General Selit Solo, concluded that investing in weather, water and climate services is more important than ever to face challenges and build safer and more flexible societies.
