"Unprecedented Heatwave: Earth's Average Temperature Shatters Records for Third Consecutive Day"

Earth's average temperature has broken record highs for the third consecutive day, reaching an unofficial record of 17.18 degrees Celsius (62.9 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer. While not an official government record, these figures indicate the unprecedented territory that climate change is pushing us into. High-temperature records were also surpassed in Quebec and Peru this week, while some countries experienced colder weather than usual. The exceptionally mild winter in the Antarctic is one of the largest contributors to these records. Scientists warn that 2023 could see more record heat as human-caused climate change continues to warm the atmosphere.
