Do you feel that this summer is particularly hot? In fact, over the past year or so, global temperatures have repeatedly set new highs, which has become a common occurrence. The European Union's Climate Change Monitoring Service said on Thursday that last month was the second warmest July on record and the second warmest month globally on record.
However, this also broke the previous record of 13 consecutive months, each of which was the hottest in history. Data from the EU climate monitoring agency Copernicus Climate Change Service (hereinafter referred to as c3s) show that every month since June 2023 (13 consecutive months), global temperatures have been higher than the previous record for the same period. for the heat.
However, it is worth mentioning that 7 also had the two hottest days on record, which were July 22 and 23 respectively.. The global daily average temperatures reached 17.16°c and 17.15°c respectively. Because the differences were so small, c3s said it couldn't be completely sure which day was the hottest.
Specifically, c3s said in its latest monthly bulletin that the global average temperature that month was 16.91°C, 0.68°C higher than the average from 1991 to July 2020, and only higher than the highest value set in July 2023 0.04°c lower.
Additionally, the global average temperature that month was 1.48 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial times (1850 to 1900). However, it also means the end of a record in which temperatures were at least 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in each of the past 12 months.
Overall, global average temperatures over the past 12 months (August 2023 to July 2024) were 0.76°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average and 1.64°C warmer than the pre-industrial average.
However, the most important thing is that due to human-caused climate change and previous natural phenomena such as El Niño, this year's temperature has further pushed this year's temperature to the highest in history. 2024 may not be able to escape the fate of becoming the "hottest year".
c3s said that the global temperature anomaly in 2024 year-to-date (January-July) is 0.70°C higher than the 1991-2020 average and 0.27°C higher than the same period in 2023. The average temperature anomaly for the remaining months of this year must drop by at least 0.23°C so that the temperature in 2024 will not be higher than that in 2023.
But according to the agency, this has happened rarely in all the data it has collected so far, making 2024 the hottest year on record increasingly likely.
Samantha Burness, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, said, "The overall situation has not changed and our climate continues to warm. The devastating effects of climate change began well before 2023 and will continue until global greenhouse gases Until emissions reach net zero”
