"Hottest Day Ever Recorded: Global Temperature Soars Amidst Climate Crisis"

Scientists are alarmed as the world experiences its hottest day ever recorded in July, breaking the global average temperature record set in 2016. The average global temperature topped 17°C for the first time, reaching 17.08°C on 6 July, a clear consequence of ongoing emissions from burning fossil fuels.

Climate models confirm that humans are entirely responsible for the upward trend in global temperatures. The occurrence of this extreme heat earlier in the year is attributed to the first El Niño since 2018, a powerful natural climate fluctuation that usually impacts global air temperatures several months into its phase. As the Earth faces uncharted territory due to global warming and El Niño effects, scientists warn that such extreme heat events are likely to continue.
