World breached 1.5°C limit 279 times since 1940, shows DTE analysis of ECMWF data

The daily global mean temperature anomaly was 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 average for at least five days in early June, according to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).

Analysis of ECMWF’s data suggests that the daily mean temperature was over the 1.5°C threshold — the target set by the UN-mandated Paris climate agreement — on 20 other occasions in 2023.
