Abstract
Abnormally high record-setting temperatures which began in 2023 have now marked a one-year continuous trend worldwide, with May 2024 being the hottest May ever recorded. Surpassing the 1.5° Celsius (C) warming threshold for a consecutive 12 months, scientists are increasing their warning of continued extreme heat waves that are pushing Earth towards a dangerous threshold.
