The likely rise in temperature follows a "pause" in global warming, which sceptics have pointed to as evidence which contradicts ongoing climate change.
But a report from the Met Office, which has been peer-reviewed by the University of Reading's Professor Rowan Sutton, suggests the world is warming again.
However, the warming trend won't be felt evenly across the globe and Northern Europe looks set for several years of cooler summers.
The Met Office's Professor Adam Scaife said the Earth's climate system is at a "turning point", with several global changes occurring at once.
