Scorching New Heights

On Sunday, the global average surface air temperature hit 17.09 degrees Celsius, barely edging out last July's record of 17.08°C. Heatwaves have been frying parts of the U.S., Europe, and Russia over the past week, making everyone feel the burn.

Copernicus Confirms the Sizzle

Copernicus told Reuters that Sunday's temperature record officially dethroned last year's high. In 2023, we saw four straight days of record-breaking heat from July 3 to July 6, thanks to climate change driven by fossil fuels.

A Year of Unprecedented Heat

Since June 2023, every month has set a new heat record compared to the same months in previous years. That's 13 months straight of sizzling temperatures, highlighting the relentless impact of climate change.

A Hotter Year Ahead?

Scientists are hinting that 2024 might even outdo 2023 as the hottest year ever. With climate change and the recent El Nino phenomenon, which wrapped up in April, temps are climbing higher than ever. Stay cool, everyone!
