NASA Publishes Global Temperature Data for 2025, Finds Slight Warmth Compared to 2023
According to a recent analysis by NASA scientists, the global surface temperature in 2025 was slightly warmer than in 2023, but within a narrow margin of error. The two years are effectively tied, with 2024 still holding the record as the warmest year on record since the temperature records began in 1880.
The dataset analyzed by NASA includes temperature data from over 25,000 weather stations worldwide, as well as readings from onboard ships and buoys that measure surface ocean temperatures, and research stations at Antarctica. The analysis took into account factors such as changing station locations and urban heat island effects to provide a more accurate picture of global temperature trends.
Other independent analyses by reputable organizations, including NOAA, Berkeley Earth, the Hadley Centre, and the European Copernicus Climate Services Network, have also confirmed that 2025 was the third-warmest year globally. These studies used similar data sets but applied different methodologies and models, yet all showed a consistent trend of continued global warming.
The complete set of NASA's global temperature data for surface temperatures is now available online. For more information on NASA's Earth Science programs, visit [www.nasa.gov/earth](http://www.nasa.gov/earth).

I was expecting a bigger jump in temps tho, but 2025 being only slightly warmer than 2023 is still kinda concerning 
. Did you see the chart on global temperature anomalies? it's like a slow march to the edge of the apocalypse... or maybe that's just me 
. Anyway, the fact that all these reputable orgs are in agreement on this trend though is kinda reassuring? 
The 25k+ weather stations is insane, I mean what even is the margin of error for all those measurements? 
So, it looks like we're only 2 years into the next decade and already we're tied with the previous record for the warmest year? 
That's got me thinking, what does this say about our progress (or lack thereof) in addressing climate change? Shouldn't we be seeing a bigger jump by now if we're really serious about reducing emissions?
and let's not forget about the oceans they got temps from ships and buoys too 
which kinda makes sense since 2024 is still record breaking 
so like, when we look at temps in cities vs rural areas it's like night and day 
. Seriously though, it's no big deal if 2025 is the third-warmest year on record... isn't that kinda obvious by now? The fact that these independent analyses from other orgs are all saying the same thing just reinforces how overwhelming the evidence for climate change is. I mean, what's a few tenths of a degree difference in temperature when you're looking at a decades-long trend of rising temps? We should be focusing on mitigating the damage and finding ways to adapt to this new reality, not debating the exact number we're above or below some arbitrary benchmark 
! I was reading this article about global warming and it made me think of how our oceans are really starting to affect the weather. Like, have you ever seen those big waves at Mauna Kea? They're literally massive! Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's why my surfboard was getting all warped last time I went... does anyone else know a good way to fix a warped surfboard? 
. at least they're trying to get accurate data though, 25k weather stations is insane
