NASA: July, hottest month registered since 1880

July was the hottest month from next month to global temperature registration, which dates back to 1880, NASA said.

“in general, July was 0.24 degrees Celsius warmer than any July in NASA” data, according to scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).

The 2023 “Corric was 1,18 degrees Celsius warmer than the July average between 1951 and 1980”, NASA said.

NASA data confirms that temperatures in July 2023 were the hottest registered worldwide”, the manager said NASA's Bill Nelson.

“ence is clear. We need to act now to protect our communities and our planet, it's the only one we have”, he added.

Some parts of South America, North Africa, North America and the Antarctic Peninsula were mostly hot, experiencing temperatures rising about 4 degrees Celsius above the average”, NASA said.

According to NASA data, the five hottest Julys since 1880 have all occurred in the last five years.

GISS Director Gavin Schmidt said warming around the ground was driven mainly by emissions of man - made greenhouse gases.

This rise in average temperatures is fueling the dangerous extreme heat people are experiencing here and worldwide”, NASA said.

High sea surface temperatures contributed to the July record warming. NASA analysis showed particularly warm temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, evidence of weather phenomenon known as “El Niño” that started in May.

Phoenix such as “El Niño” or “La Niña”, which heats or cools the tropical Pacific Ocean, can contribute to the diversity of global temperatures year after year.
