UAH v6.1 Global Temperature Update for February, 2026: +0.39 deg. C

abatify summary
Ecosystem Impact

The positive temperature anomaly of +0.39°C contributes to sustained thermal stress across terrestrial and aquatic biomes, potentially accelerating the degradation of temperature-sensitive carbon sinks and disrupting local phenological cycles.

Systemic Reality

A consistent decadal warming trend of +0.16°C reinforces the necessity for iterative adjustments in climate risk insurance modeling and global policy frameworks to address long-term atmospheric warming trajectories.

The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for February, 2026 was +0.39 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up a little from the January, 2026 value of +0.35 deg. C. The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through February 2026) remains at +0.16 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over […]
