NOAA previously found that each of the past five years had been among the warmest since record-keeping began in 1880.
This year is on track to be one of the warmest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which also announced Thursday that last month had tied the previous record for the warmest May in recorded history.
The current record was set in 2016, but the agency’s latest projections show that there is an almost 50 percent chance that 2020 could surpass that. The planet also experienced a warmer-than-usual May. The average temperature across land and ocean surfaces last month was 1.71 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average. This ties May 2016 for the hottest May on record, according to NOAA.
In most of Asia, northern Africa, Alaska and the southwest contiguous United States, temperatures in May were at least 2.7 degrees F higher than average. But the warm conditions were not uniform across the globe: Much of Canada, the eastern U.S, eastern Europe and Australia experienced a cooler-than-usual month, with temperatures at least 1.8 degrees F below average.
