Analysis
Egypt recorded 0.0062 °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 2.2% on the previous year and up 25.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise in Egypt peaked at 0.0062 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Egypt 42nd out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
