In recent days, many parts of the world have been hit by high temperatures. Research has found that the global average temperature has broken records for three consecutive times in four days since July 3rd. After the global average temperature hit a new high for two consecutive days on the 3rd and 4th, and remained unchanged from the 4th on the 5th, the global average temperature on the 6th broke records again.
According to data from the National Weather Service of the United States, the global average temperature on July 6th was 17.23 degrees Celsius, once again breaking the record for the highest global average temperature recorded by the National Center for Environmental Forecasting since 1979. In just four days, the global average temperature has set new highs three times, reaching 17.01 degrees Celsius on July 3, 17.18 degrees Celsius on July 4, and 17.23 degrees Celsius on July 6.
According to scientist Rod from a non-profit environmental data analysis organization, the recent increase in global average temperature is caused by long-term global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, as well as short-term temperature increases caused by the El Ni ñ o phenomenon. The global average temperature will continue to rise in the next month and a half.
According to reports, parts of the southern United States are experiencing several weeks of heatwaves, with the highest temperature in North Africa approaching 50 degrees Celsius in recent days.
Scientists have found that in terms of temperature and ocean surface temperature, June, which just passed, was the hottest month on record. Since 1980, the temperature and ocean surface temperature in June have been continuously rising.
