Climate Change Knowledge Portal country climate data

Country and global aggregates of climate data prepared by the World Bank on its official boundaries. Observed: ERA5 reanalysis annual mean near-surface air temperature for every country and territory from 1950, as absolute values in degrees Celsius, with CCKP's 1991–2020 climatology as the reference. Projected: the number of days a year with a daily maximum of 35 °C or more, from the bias-corrected, downscaled CMIP6 multi-model ensemble (median, 10th and 90th percentiles) for 1995–2014 and for 2040–2059 under five emissions scenarios. These are reanalysis and model aggregates over each country's land area, not weather-station records.

Status

Programme
The API answered on 2026-10-04 and the ERA5 country series runs to 2025. The ERA5 series is refreshed about once a year; the CMIP6 projections are fixed. No version label is published, so each snapshot's sha256 and fetch date are the version.
Updates
ERA5 series about once a year; CMIP6 projections static
