The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September 2025 was +0.53 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up from the August 2025 anomaly of +0.39 deg. C.

Graph displaying the UAH satellite-based temperature data of the global lower atmosphere (Version 6.1), showing temperature anomalies from 1979 to September 2025, with a noted value of +0.53 deg. C for September 2025.

The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through September 2025) remains at +0.16 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over oceans).

The following table lists various regional Version 6.1 LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 21 months (record highs are in red).
