Last year has tied 2016 as the hottest year on record, the European Union's climate monitoring service said Friday.

The six years since 2015 are the six warmest ever registered, as are 20 of the last 21, evidence of a persistent and deepening trend, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported.

In 2020, temperatures globally were an average of 1.25 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) higher than in pre-industrial times, Copernicus said. The last six years were the world’s hottest on record.

“The extraordinary climate events of 2020 and the data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service show us that we have no time to lose,” said Matthias Petschke, Director for Space in the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm. The bloc’s space programmes include the Copernicus earth observation satellites.

A preliminary tally found that 13 of last year’s disasters led to at least 188 deaths and costs of $46.6 billion, Smith said. NOAA was to release a complete survey of damages in 2020 at 1600 GMT (1100 a.m. EST) on Friday.

Last year also saw the highest temperature ever reliably recorded, when in August a California heatwave pushed the temperature at Death Valley in the Mojave Desert up to 54.4C (129.92°F).

The Arctic and northern Siberia continued to warm more quickly than the planet as a whole in 2020, with temperatures in parts of these regions averaging more than 6C above a 30-year average used as a baseline.

2020 ties 2016 as hottest year on record, EU climate change service says

From the past few days, the discomfort level in the national capital and its surrounding areas such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Noida has increased due to warm weather conditions.&nbsp;

According to Skymet, scattered rains accompanied by thunderstorms are likely to batter Delhi-NCR between September 13 to September 15.

Notably, Delhi and its nearby regions have not received any significant rainfall activity after August 17.

"These rains would be localised and would not last for long. These rainfall activities would not be widespread," stated the weather forecasting agency in its advisory.&nbsp;

However, in Mumbai, heavy rains are predicted for the next two days. This will also help the devotees of Lord Ganesha to perform Visarjan without any hindrance on September 12.&nbsp;

The weather experts also predicted that the region in and around Mumbai are likely to receive significant rain and thundershower activity around September 14 or 15, wherein moderate showers with one or two intense spells may appear over the city.
