2020 Set To Be One Of The Hottest Years On Record

Mullingar weather station had its highest May temperature on record

There's more evidence of a climate crisis, with figures suggesting we've had one of the hottest years on record.

The World Meteorological Organisation says 2020 is currently second, behind 2016 and ahead of 2019 - although that could change once annual figures are finalised.

Mullingar weather station is one of four in Ireland that had its highest May temperature on record - at 25.6 degrees on May 28th.

The average worldwide temperature's set to be around 1-point-2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial baseline.
