Temperature Change on Land, 2013

2013, as FAO’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This is how much warmer — or, occasionally, colder — a country's land surface was over a year than its own average for 1951–1980, in degrees Celsius. FAO calculates it for every country from NASA's global surface temperature record, which makes it the plainest country-by-country measure of how far the climate has already moved.

Temperature Change on Land, 2013 covers 193 countries on 2 measures. Turkmenistan is highest, at 1.689; Chile is lowest, at 0.212. The middle country reads 0.911. Against 2012, 191 values changed (113 up, 78 down), 2 countries joined.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from FAO’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2013.

  • 175 distinct values among 193

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 3 countries share 0.806. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 193 countries has every column.
