The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for November 2025 was +0.43 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, down from the October 2025 value of +0.53 deg. C.

Graph showing the UAH satellite-based global lower atmosphere temperature anomalies from 1991-2020, indicating a +0.43°C increase for November 2025.

The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through November 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 23 months (record highs are in red).
