On July 3, the average global temperature surpassed its previous record and for the first time touched 17 degrees Celsius. Since the end of the 19th century, this album has had the highest instrumental rating.
According to scientists, the recent worldwide high is a result of both continuous carbon dioxide emissions and the El Nio phenomenon.
Day on Record
The most potent change in the climate system anyplace on Earth can be attributed to the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which has three phases: hot, cold, or neutral. For the first time since 1979, when satellite monitoring records first started, the average worldwide surface air temperature topped 17 degrees Celsius.
The average global temperature for the month of June was 1.46C higher than the global average for the years between 1850 and 1900, making it the hottest June on record.
- Global temperature rises to 17°C, highest instrumental rating since 19th century.
- El Nio Southern Oscillation causes significant climate change, causing the global average temperature to rise.
- Scientists predict record-breaking July temperatures due to El Nio intensification.
While the effects of high temperatures are also being felt in the world‘s poles, the UK also saw its hottest June on record. A reading of 8.7C at Ukraine’s Vernadsky Research base surpassed the July Antarctica temperature record.
More records are anticipated to be broken as the summer progresses and El Nio intensifies, according to scientists. With temperatures dipping a little in the Southern Hemisphere, it seems likely that July will be the warmest and hottest month ever.
