A dire U.N. report warns even more extreme heat is on the way.
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as climate scientists sound some of their most dire alarms yet when it comes to the impact climate change is having on weather.thermometer typically reads higher than the officially recorded temperature, which peaked at 130 during July's extreme heat wave. The combined land and sea surface temperatures around the world was 1.67 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average, according to NOAA.
That eked past the old record for hottest month ever by 0.02 degrees, which was set in July 2016 and later matched in July 2019 and July 2020. The month brought extreme weather events around the world, including a heat wave that pushed the mercury at Death Valley to 130 degrees, which might be the hottest verifiably recorded air temperature ever on Earth., while parts of China and Europe were hit with major flooding and the western U.S. was scorched by wildfires.
Arctic sea ice coverage fell to its fourth-lowest level ever recorded during a July, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, though Antarctic sea ice grew to its largest coverage area in a July since 2015.warning human-caused global warming is leading to"unprecedented" and potentially irreversible changes to the climate.
