According to data released by the National Center for Environmental Forecasting in the United States on the 5th, the daily average temperature on the Earth's surface reached 17.18 degrees Celsius on the 4th, exceeding the record of 17.01 degrees Celsius set on the 3rd. According to American media, July 4th has become the highest average temperature recorded on Earth so far.
According to CNN, experts warn that this record may be broken several times in 2023. "The world is likely to experience even hotter weather in the next six weeks," said Robert Rhodes, a geographer at the University of California, Berkeley, on social media recently
The report states that due to the return of the El Ni ñ o phenomenon, the global average temperature has broken records for two consecutive days. Previously, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States showed that July 3rd was the highest average temperature recorded on Earth.
According to Reuters, the World Meteorological Organization announced on the 4th that the tropical Pacific has formed El Ni ñ o conditions for the first time in seven years, which may lead to global temperature spikes, destructive weather, and climate patterns.
The Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization, Petri Taras, said that the appearance of El Ni ñ o will greatly increase the likelihood of breaking temperature records, and may also trigger extreme high temperatures in many parts of the world and oceans.
The World Meteorological Organization calls on countries to provide early warning and respond in advance to mitigate the impact on human health, ecosystems, and economy.
