The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed that April was the warmest on record globally, marking the eleventh consecutive month of record-high temperatures. This trend is attributed to a combination of naturally occurring El Nino events and the additional energy trapped in the atmosphere and ocean due to greenhouse gases from human activities. The average temperature in April was 1.58 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial reference period, with sea surface temperatures reaching record highs for the past 13 months.
