Analysis
Brazil recorded 0.0881 °C for contribution to global mean surface temperature rise in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.4% on the previous year and up 16.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise in Brazil peaked at 0.0881 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Brazil 4th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
