Most regions already feel 90-94% of 1.5°C warming threshold

A new analysis indicates that while global average temperature has not officially reached 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, most land regions are already experiencing 90-94% of the warming expected at that threshold due to uneven heating. This suggests regional climate impacts are arriving earlier than global metrics imply, with implications for adaptation planning and policy urgency.
