Unprecedented heat engulfed the planet on Tuesday, reaching the highest recorded temperature in at least 44 years and possibly much longer.
While it is not an official National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration record, "this is showing us an indication of where we are right now," NOAA chief scientist Sarah Kapnick said. Even though the dataset used for the unofficial record goes back only to 1979, she said that given other data, it's likely the hottest day in "several hundred years that we've experienced."
The previous hottest day was in August 2021, Kapnick said.
