Global Heat Wave Record-Breaking Temperatures in July

TapTechNews August 7th news, the World Meteorological Organization released a report yesterday. In July this year, hundreds of millions of people around the world experienced extremely hot weather attacks. Among them, on July 22nd, the global daily average temperature reached 17.16 degrees Celsius, breaking the previous record.

The World Meteorological Organization stated that from June 2023 to June 2024, the global monthly average temperature has continuously set new highest records for 13 months.

The World Meteorological Organization said that July experienced the three hottest days in the world:

July 21st: The global daily average temperature was 17.09 degrees Celsius.

July 22nd: The global daily average temperature was 17.16 degrees Celsius.

July 23rd: The global daily average temperature was 17.15 degrees Celsius.

These three days' temperatures were all higher than the previous record set on July 6, 2023, which was 17.08 degrees Celsius, and it is also the highest global daily average temperature recorded since the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) started.

TapTechNews queried public information. The World Meteorological Organization also shared a world map on July 30th, indicating that in the past one year (from July 2023 to July 2024), the temperatures in at least 10 countries and regions around the world exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service analyzed that one of the reasons for the soaring temperature is that the temperature in most areas of Antarctica is much higher than the average level, and the abnormal temperature in some areas is more than 10 degrees Celsius higher than the average level. This is the second time in the past two years that the Antarctic continent has encountered such a heat wave.
