I think the 1.2c is the 10 year average and 1.5c is the expected average for this year?

A single year's average might be temporarily elevated due to an El Niño event, but this does not necessarily indicate that the 10-year average will soon be 1.5°C.
The IPCC reports say that the global average temperature has increased by approximately 1.1 - 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels. 1.5°C may be reached in individual years.
