It was the hottest July in 175 years

July was the warmest on record, according to a report released Monday by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) . Also, global temperatures have been at record levels for the 14th month in a row.

It is noted that the average temperature of the Earth's surface in July was 1.21°C higher than the average temperature of the 20th century. The result was the warmest July in NOAA's 175-year record.

Africa, Europe and Asia had their hottest July on record, and North America had its second hottest July, the report said.

For example, 52.9°C in China, 48.2°C in Sardinia, 39.6°C at night in Algeria, and sea water temperature in Florida rose to 37.2°C.

The temperature in the world's oceans has risen to a record level for 15 months in a row, and the second warmest temperature has been recorded.

The report also said that Northern Hemisphere snow cover and global ocean ice extent were below average , and that the Antarctic ice sheet was the second lowest on record.

The previous heat record was set in July 2019, when the average global temperature was 0.2°C lower than today.

The reason for these changes is the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities.

Even if world leaders succeed in reducing SO2 and methane emissions in the atmosphere at the G20 and COP28 summits, the current hot and extreme weather conditions will persist for decades.
