Yesterday was the hottest day on record in global levelbreaking the record he held, briefly, on Monday July 3rdaccording to the first measurements of an American meteorological observatory.

On Tuesday July 4th, the average air and surface temperature of the planet was measured at 17.18°C from an organization under US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The calculation far exceeding the 17.01°C measured the previous dayof Monday July 3, in which the previous record of 16.92°C was brokenwhich had been measured at 14 August 2016 and repeated on 24 July 2022according to data from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction and dating back to 1979.

THE air temperature, varying between 12°C and 17°C on daily average during the year, it averaged 16.20°C in early July in the time period between 1979 and 2000, according to this measurement system.

The European observatory Copernicus announced today that his own readings for Monday July 3 confirmed that it was the warmest day on record “ERA5 database” dating from 1940but data is not yet available for July 4.

These records, which have yet to be confirmed, are in danger of being broken again soon, as in the northern hemisphere the summer season begins and the average global temperature continues to rise until late July-early August.

In early June, average global temperatures were the highest ever recorded for this time of year from the European service Copernicusbreaking the previous records by quite some distance.

These observations are likely foretaste of the effect of the El Niño phenomenon – which is associated with an increase in global temperatures – reinforced by the effects of climate change caused by human activities.

On June 8, NOAA had announced the official arrival of El Niño considering that ‘likely to cause new temperature records’ in some areas.

In June, a series of records were broken in Asia, while the UK experienced its warmest June on record. Mexico and Texas were hit by extreme heat waves.
