The earth recorded on Sunday, July 21 an average of 17.09 degrees of temperature, which represents a new record that exceeds the 17.08 degrees of July 6, 2023, reported on Tuesday in Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the EU’s Earth Observation program.
Preliminary data points to the Sunday being the hottest day since at least 1940. In fact, before July 2023, the previous record of daily global average temperature was 16.8 degrees on 13 August 2016.
Since July 3, 2023 there have been 57 days that have surpassed that previous record, distributed between July and August of 2023 and during June and July in what goes for 2024.
“On July 21, C3S recorded a new record for the global daily mean temperature. What’s really amazing is the big difference between the temperature of the last 13 months and the previous record temperatures. We are now in truly uncharted territory and as the weather continues to warm, we are likely to see new records in the coming months and years”He said of the director of C3S, Carlos Buontempo, according to a statement.
