２４年の国内平均気温、過去最高　２年連続、温暖化顕著に―気象庁

　気象庁は６日、２０２４年の日本の年間平均気温（確定値）が、１８９８年の統計開始以来最も高かったと発表した。最高記録の更新は２年連続。都市化の影響が少ない全国１５地点の観測値に基づく計算で、平年（２０２０年までの３０年平均）を１．４８度上回った。
　２３年は平年を１．２９度上回っていた。１９～２４年が１位から６位までを占めており、近年の高温傾向が顕著となっている。
　全国１４９地点の観測値に基づく地域別平均気温も上昇し、平年との差は関東甲信１．７度、東海１．６度、近畿１．４度、中国１．５度、四国１．４度、九州北部１．６度、九州南部と奄美１．４度、沖縄１．０度で、いずれも１９４６年の統計開始以来最高。東北は１．８度で過去最高の２３年と並んだ。北海道は１．３度、北陸は１．４度。（2025/01/06-19:10）

The annual average temperature in Japan in 2024 was the highest since records began in 1898, setting a record high for the second consecutive year, the Japan Meteorological Agency said Monday.
   The average temperature in 2024 was 1.48 degrees Celsius higher than the normal-year level, or the 30-year average through 2020, up from a positive margin of 1.29 degrees in 2023.
   The years 2019 to 2024 now dominate the top six spots in terms of annual average temperature in the Asian country.
   The nationwide average is based on temperatures recorded at the agency's 15 long-term observation points across the country, which are largely unaffected by urbanization.
   Regional average temperatures, based on data from a total of 149 observation points, also rose in 2024, with the Kanto-Koshin eastern region, the Tokai central region, the Kinki, Chugoku and Shikoku western regions, the northern and southern parts of the Kyushu southwestern region, and the Amami and Okinawa southern regions all posting their highest levels since records began in 1946. In the Tohoku northeastern region, the 2024 average tied the record high, set in 2023.
