Temperature change statistics 1961–2022. Global, regional and country trends

The FAOSTAT Temperature Change domain disseminates statistics of land surface air temperature change by country, with annual updates. Statistics are available for monthly, seasonal and annual mean temperature anomalies, i.e. temperature change with respect to a baseline climatology, corresponding to the period 1951–1980. The standard deviation of the temperature change of the baseline methodology is also available. Data are based on the publicly available GISTEMP data, the Global Surface Temperature Change data distributed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA–GISS) with information from the year 1880 onward. 

 

Temperature change statistics are avalable for the period 1961–2022 for 188 countries and 38 territories. 

According to the latest data, in 2022 the mean annual temperatures were warmer than normal in more than 170 countries and territories.
