World Meteorological Organization: Last week was the hottest week on record | Meteorology | World Meteorological Organization
The World Meteorological Organization released a report on the 10th local time, stating that according to preliminary data, the world has just experienced the hottest week on record. In addition, June, which has just passed, was also the hottest month on record, with sea surface temperatures reaching new highs and the Antarctic sea ice area reaching a historic low.
Christopher Hewitt, Director of Climate Services at the World Meteorological Organization, said, "The unusually warm months of June and early July occurred at the beginning of the development of the El Ni ñ o phenomenon. It is expected that the El Ni ñ o phenomenon will further intensify land and ocean heat, leading to more extreme temperatures and ocean heat waves." He also stated that as the El Ni ñ o phenomenon further develops, there may be more extreme weather, and these impacts are expected to continue until 2024.
