- Copernicus expects warming in 2026 to almost certainly exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels; officially, the threshold is assessed over multiple years.
- October was the warmest worldwide since records began and marked the third consecutive month above 1.5°C.
- Copernicus estimates 2026 will probably be the second-warmest year; there is a 20% chance it could surpass the 2024 record.
- In October, sea-surface temperature across the latitudes from 60°N to 60°S reached 20.95°C, a new October high.
What is particularly significant is that the four-year average is also expected to exceed 1.5 degrees, illustrating how prolonged this phase of global warming has become.— Samantha Burgess of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, commenting on the Copernicus climate data.

- The final sizes of the projected majorities remained undetermined while vote counting continued.
- The majorities give Democrats greater scope for investigations and subpoenas; in the Senate, they can block Trump’s judicial nominees.
- Trump’s veto and the Senate’s 60-vote threshold make passage of large parts of the Democrats’ preferred agenda very unlikely.
- CNN’s voter poll found that more than six in ten respondents disapproved of Trump; two-thirds said his policies had worsened the economy.
“If anyone wants to come after California, or any one Californian, they better be ready for a fight.”— Xavier Becerra said this in his victory speech after CNN projected him to win California’s gubernatorial election.
