2020 was the hottest year on record, tied with 2016, NASA and NOAA announced in a teleconference on Thursday at the 101st American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting. Last year was about 1.02°C (0.84°F) warmer than the baseline mean temperatures from 1951-1980.

More broadly, the period from 2010 to 2020 was also the hottest decade in the 140 year history of modern temperature record-keeping, and continues the alarming pattern in which each consecutive decade since the 1960s has been warmer than the last.
