As temperatures surge to unprecedented levels year after year, July 2023 is on track to become the hottest month ever recorded on Earth, surpassing previous records by a significant margin, CNN has reported.
Scientific reports from both the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service and the World Meteorological Organization have confirmed that this month’s scorching heat is virtually certain to break global climate records.
Till the first 23 days of July, the average air temperature across the entire world reached a staggering 16.95 degrees Celsius (62.51 Fahrenheit), well above the previous record of 16.63 degrees Celsius (61.93 Fahrenheit) set in July 2019.
Scientists warn that these extreme temperatures are the hottest witnessed in human history, with estimates suggesting they are the warmest the planet has experienced in over 120,000 years
