| The British Met Office has warned of record-breaking temperatures in 2019. |
The Met Office forecasts the global average temperature for 2019 to be between 0.98 degrees Celsius and 1.22 degrees Celsius, with a central estimate of 1.10 degrees Celsius.
Since 1850, 2016 is the warmest year on record with a central estimate of 1.15 degrees Celsius above the baseline.
The forecast is based on modest warming from El Nino combined with much larger effects due to rising levels of greenhouse gases.
