According to measurements made by American meteorologists, Monday, July 3, was the hottest day on record in Earth’s history, surpassing the average temperature of 17 degrees Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time.
On Monday, the average surface air temperature was 17.01 degrees Celsius, recorded by an organization affiliated with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
According to data from NOAA’s Center for Environmental Prediction, this number surpassed the previous record (16.92 degrees Celsius) set on July 24 last year.
The average temperature of the earth fluctuates between 12 degrees Celsius and slightly less than 17 degrees Celsius every day of the year, and the temperature at the beginning of July from 1979 to 2000 was on average 16.2 degrees Celsius.
This record has yet to be confirmed by other measurements, but is expected to be broken soon as summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere.
Scientists have predicted that with the beginning of the El Nino weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean, the temperature of the earth will be even higher than the current records next year.
Meanwhile, fossil fuels and other human activities cause the release of about 40 billion tons of CO2 gas into the atmosphere, which ultimately leads to the warming of our planet.
