JULY 21 MARKS HOTTEST DAY EVER RECORDED GLOBALLY

Preliminary data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service indicates that July 21 was the hottest day ever recorded globally. The global average surface air temperature reached 17.09 degrees Celsius (62.76 degrees Fahrenheit) on that day, the highest since records began in 1940.

Unprecedented Temperature Surge

“The difference in temperature over the last 13 months compared to previous records is staggering,” said Carlo Buontempo, director of the EU climate monitor. “We are now in truly uncharted territory, and as the climate continues to warm, we can expect to see new records broken in the coming months and years.”

Widespread Heatwaves

Recent weeks have seen severe heatwaves across the United States, Europe, Russia, and Gaza, exacerbating living conditions for displaced Palestinians in the enclave.

Persistent Heat Records

Since June 2023, each month has been the hottest on record when compared to corresponding months in previous years. Scientists attribute these extreme temperatures to human-induced global warming.

Future Projections

Experts predict that 2024 could surpass 2023 as the hottest year on record. The combination of climate change and the El Niño weather phenomenon, which ended in April, has driven temperatures higher this year.
