2025 is ending as one of the hottest years ever recorded, and the data from November makes that hard to ignore. Temperature measurements from satellites, ocean sensors, and ground stations all show the same steady rise, and the World Meteorological Organization now expects 2025 to finish as either the second or third warmest year on record.
