UN: 86% Chance US Hits Hottest Year on Record by 2027
A landmark UN World Meteorological Organization report warns there is an 86 percent probability that at least one year between 2026 and 2030 will surpass the 2024 global heat record — with 2027 the most likely candidate due to an emerging El Nino. For Americans, the report projects higher-than-average heat across virtually every US state, intensifying drought in the Southwest, increasing wildfire risk from California to the Southeast, and heavier rainfall events causing catastrophic flooding across the Midwest and Northeast. The global average temperature from 2026 to 2030 is projected to be up to 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit above the pre-industrial baseline. WooGlobe Ref : WGA226368
