Global temperatures were extremely hot in June 2024, at just over 1.5C, beating June 2023's previous record-setting temperatures by 0.14C and coming in around 0.4C warmer than 2016 (the last major El Nino event).
Now 2024 is very likely to beat 2023 as the warmest year on record
June 2024 was so warm that – in the absence of 2023's exceptional warmth – it would have beaten any past July as the warmest absolute monthly temperature experienced by the planet in the historical record:
Can you please clarify what you mean when you write “at just over 1.5°C.” Which data set and mean does this relate to? The graph doesn’t say. Thanks 🙏🏼
I am curious. Where I live, we have fluctuations, e.g. in June few days could be at +21-23 degrees, and next couple of days at +30-33 degrees, then back to 21-23 again for a few days, although it feels like in the past it was more stable. Are such fluctuations the result of a climate change as well?
