Monday, July 3rd is the hottest day in the world

With the onset of July, the air temperature is getting higher every day. However, the effects of climate change, caused by human activity and some natural phenomena, are making our days even hotter! For example, the month we left behind was the hottest June ever. July 3rd was the hottest day in the world! Monday, July 3, with a global mean temperature of 17.01 degrees, was recorded as the hottest day on record. Let’s look at the details together.

Scientists from the US announced that July 3 was recorded as the hottest day in the world.

The statement indicated that the average global temperature on July 3 was 17.01 degrees. This is the highest value measured since the end of the 19th century, when global average temperatures began to be recorded.

The average global temperature for the first time in history has reached 17 degrees

Climate researcher Leon Simons said:The fact that the global average temperature reaches 17 degrees for the first time since reliable measurements began is an important threshold for our global warming.‘ made a statement.

The “hottest day” before 3 July was in August 2016.

In August 2016, the average global temperature was 16.92 degrees Celsius.

Scientists recently warned that “this year could be the hottest day in the world.”

Since the beginning of this year, many scientists have feared that temperatures could reach unprecedented levels. In the spring there were reports that temperature records were broken from many countries in Europe and Asia.

On the other hand, air temperatures in many countries, including China and the United States, exceed seasonal norms. It is alleged that in some cities of Iran the air temperature exceeds 50 degrees, and because of the intense heat in India, 150 people have died.

According to scientists, the El Niño weather phenomenon and human-induced global warming are among the contributing factors to the hottest day.

On the other hand, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) states that El Niño conditions could accelerate global temperature increases, which could trigger various natural disasters.
