standard.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\nThe highs will be the result of human-caused\u00a0climate change\u00a0and warming from the El Nino weather phenomenon in the Pacific, experts said.<\/p>\n
Temperatures around the world in 2019 are expected to average around 1.10C above pre-industrial levels. This is close to the record-breaking hot year of 2016 when temperatures were 1.15C above the 1850-1900 period. Experts have warned of the need to take urgent and dramatic action across society to start to bring down emissions rapidly.<\/p>\n
They have urged that huge change is needed to put the world on track to limit temperature rises and avoid the worst impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n
Predictions of the close-to-record hot year are the latest in the warming trend the world has seen in recent years.<\/p>\n
By the end of next year, 19 of the 20 warmest years on record will have occurred since the year 2000, Professor Adam Scaife, head of a long-range prediction at the Met Office, said.<\/p>\n
The latest warning of rising temperatures comes after the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) revealed that 2018 was among the warmest on record, with only 2016, 2015 and 2017 hotter.<\/p>\n
As countries met to agree the rulebook to implement the Paris climate deal, which aims to limit temperature rises to 1.5C or 2C above pre-industrial levels, scientists said carbon emissions continued to rise this year.<\/p>\n
