TL;DR Summary

Global mean temperatures were more than 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial averages for the first few days of June, breaching the 1.5 degree-threshold in the summer months for the first time, according to the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast. Short-term breaches of the temperature thresholds set by the Paris Agreement are considered inevitable, with the World Meteorological Organization predicting a 66% chance of annual global temperatures breaching the 1.5 degrees threshold in one of the next five years.
