Temperatures exceeded the 1991-2020 average by 2.81°C. Prolonged heat domes intensified droughts, pollution, and wildfires, while tropical nights surged, impacting public health. The western Mediterranean also saw record marine heat. The Copernicus Climate Change Service warned such events will worsen with climate change. June 2025 was the globe’s third-warmest June ever.
