January 2025 was quite unexpectedly the warmest January on record at 1.75C above preindustrial, beating the prior record set in 2024.
This is despite the presence of La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific, with the El Niño event of 2023/2024 long faded. https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/january-sets-an-unexpected-temperature

Just asking because there's that Arctic "heatwave" coming in with an anomaly of over +28°C, still far below 0°C tho.
A dataset 60S to 60N would not even include these extremes – which nonetheless do have far-reaching and grave regional impacts

It was actually kinda nice to have a real winter after so many eerily warm ones in a row...
