2016 was the warmest year since humans began keeping records, by a wide margin. Global average temperatures were extremely hot in the first few months of the year, pushed up by a large El NiƱo event. Global surface temperatures dropped in the second half of 2016, yet still show a continuation of global warming.

This is the third record-breaking year in a row.
