Record-Breaking Heatwave Shatters Global Temperature Records

The world's average temperature reached a new high on July 3, surpassing 17 degrees Celsius for the first time since records began. This record-breaking temperature is attributed to a combination of the natural weather event El Niño and ongoing carbon dioxide emissions. June 2022 has also been confirmed as the warmest June ever recorded globally. Scientists predict that more temperature records will be broken as the summer progresses and El Niño strengthens.
