Temperature Change on Land, 2025

2025, 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, 2025 covers 190 countries on 2 measures. Kazakhstan is highest, at 3.294; Solomon Islands is lowest, at 0.340. The middle country reads 1.474. Against 2024, 190 values changed (26 up, 164 down), 1 left.

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 2025.

  • 181 distinct values among 190

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 2.178. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 190 countries has every column.
