The Earth experienced its hottest day ever on July 3, 2023. Using information from the University of Maine and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), it was determined that the average global temperature was 62.62 degrees Fahrenheit. Two meters above the surface of the Earth, this temperature was measured.
The previous hottest day, which occurred in July 2022 and August 2016, when the global temperature reached 62.46 degrees, was surpassed by this new record. Intense heatwaves that have been recorded in the United States, Canada, and Europe as well as the existence of El Nio conditions are to blame for the recent rise in global temperatures.
The Pacific Ocean’s surface temperatures increase above average during El Nio. Researchers think that these readings can be compared to data from earlier times, despite the fact that NOAA and the University of Maine have been collecting global temperature data since 1979.
They are confident that this is the highest global temperature to have been recorded since instruments were first used to measure temperatures in the 1850s. This highlights how climate change is still having an effect.
