July Was the World’s Hottest Month Ever Recorded

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency reports that July 2021 was the hottest month ever recorded on the planet.

The US Agency said it was worried about the exacerbation of natural phenomena related to climate change, after rating the month of July as the hottest month on record on the planet.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Administrator Rick Spinrad in a statement said ‘in this case first place is the worst place to be July is typically the world’s warmest month of the year but July 2021 outdid itself as the hottest July and month ever recorded’ .

According to NOAA, Asia had its hottest July on record besting the previous record set in 2010 Europe had its second-hottest July on record tying with July 2010 and trailing behind July 2018; and North America South America Africa and Oceania all had a top10 warmest July.

This announcement came days after United Nations climate experts published a new report, stressing that humanity’s responsibility for global warming is unequivocal and that climate change is occurring at a faster rate than feared.

The report predicted that global warming will reach 1.5 °C compared to the pre-industrial era around 2030, which threatens to cause new unprecedented catastrophes in the planet that is hit by heat waves and successive floods.

US Senator Bernie Sanders said on Twitter’ July was the hottest month in recorded history. I will say that again we just experienced the hottest month ever in the history of the planet’

He added’ I do not want future generations to look back on this moment and ask why we did not do all we could to address climate change’.

The combined temperature between land and ocean surfaces around the world was 0.93°C higher than the 20th century average temperature of 15.8 °C making it the hottest July since records began 142 years ago, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
