The year 2023 was the hottest on Earth since records began, say scientists.
The research was done by Copernicus Climate Change Service, which studies the impact of climate change on our planet, and how temperatures are changing.
This recent temperature boost is mainly linked to the El Niño weather conditions, which have occurred on top of long-term human-caused warming, and scientists from the Met Office - which predicts our weather - are concerned that 2024 could be even hotter.
The Met Office also reported last week that the UK experienced its second warmest year on record in 2023.
