According to the European Earth observation program Copernicus, last month was the warmest June in the world since measurements began in 1950. The effects of the constant heat records are increasing.
The average temperature in June was 16.51 degrees Celsius, “just over 0.5 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average,” the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said Thursday. It clearly surpassed the previous heat record of June 2019.
Huge consequences of global warming
At the beginning of June, Copernicus had already measured the highest average global temperatures ever recorded in this period. In addition to the warming of the sea surface, he attributed the rising temperatures to the beginning weather phenomenon El Niño.
The effects of global warming include extreme weather events. Storms mixed with heat waves destroy entire crops and soil erosion is also increasing. Recently, American scientists reported the warmest day in recorded history on July 4. According to the University of Maine’s “Climate Reanalyzer” platform, the global average temperature was 17.18 degrees on Tuesday.
