By analyzing satellite data and weather records, a team of climatologists in Germany have found that the culprit is likely fewer clouds at low altitudes — lower than about 10,000 feet (3,000 meters).

Auroras appear red. In doing so it was able to examine, for the first time, higher-altitude layers of the giant planet’s atmosphere about 15-30 miles (25-50 kilometers) above the cloud tops.

The global mean temperature also rose to nearly 1.5 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial level, another record.
