NASA press release on 2024 temperature evaluation:

NOAA and NASA gather and evaluate the world’s temperature information and separately produce a record of Earth’s surface temperatures, alongside changes based on previous observations. Consistency between the two independent evaluations, and those determined by other nations, boosts confidence in the precision and review of the data and resulting conclusions. These evaluations furnish government and business leaders with essential decision-making data.

Climate, weather, and water have an impact on all living organisms on our oceanic planet. NOAA’s mission is to comprehend and forecast our evolving environment, spanning from the ocean depths to outer space, while managing and safeguarding America’s coastal and marine resources.
