A single year above 1.5 °C would not automatically mean the that the IPCC's target to limit warming to 1.5 °C has failed, as those targets are based on long-term averages.
However, it would highlight the very limited time remaining.
In addition, we note that different analysis groups have slightly different estimates of long-term trends.
It is possible, and in this case likely, that 1 or 2 may have final values for 2023 that slightly exceed 1.5 °C while others are slightly below 1.5 °C.
