AMMAN The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a stark warning regarding the accelerating accumulation of heat within Earth's climate systems, highlighting that the energy imbalance between solar radiation absorbed by the planet and energy radiated back into space has reached its highest level since record-keeping began. The agency noted that this growing imbalance threatens to trigger an increase in extreme weather events globally. In its annual State of the Global Climate report, the WMO revealed that global average surface temperatures from January through September 2026 exceeded pre-industrial baseline levels by approximately 1.47°C. The organization projected that 2026 will rank among the four warmest years on record. Consequently, the world is on track to record its four warmest consecutive years during the period spanning 2023 to 2026. This trend coincides with sustained warming in the oceans, which absorb approximately 90% of the excess heat trapped by atmospheric greenhouse gases.
