Tanzania Records Hottest Year Ever in 2024 Amid Surging Nighttime Temperatures
In 2024, Tanzania witnessed its hottest year since records began in 1970, driven largely by surging nighttime minimum temperatures. The national average temperature for the year reached 24.3°C, which is 0.7°C above normal, breaking the previous record set in 2023. The average minimum temperature hit 19.3°C, 1.1°C higher than the long-term average, indicating a stronger rise during nighttime than daytime. The year also became the fourth wettest in history, intensifying climate stress, especially for a country where 80% of the population depends on agriculture.
