July was world’s hottest month on record, climate scientists confirm

July has been confirmed as the hottest month on record globally after
several heatwaves in parts of Europe, according to the Copernicus Climate
Change Service (C3S). The global average temperature was 16.95C last month,
surpassing the previous record set in 2019 by a substantial 0.33C.
Temperatures exceeded 40C last week in several countries across Europe
including Greece, France, Italy and Spain. Wildfires forced the evacuation
of thousands of residents and tourists from several Greek islands including
Rhodes. There were also high temperatures in South American countries,
despite it being winter there. July is estimated to have been about 1.5C
warmer than the average for 1850-1900, according to C3S, and 0.72C warmer
than the 1991-2020 average.
