The Earth set a record for hottest day ever – then broke it 1 day later
Global News
On Monday, the daily global average temperature reached a new record high at 17.15 C, beating the previous record of 17.09 C, set just the day before.
July 21 set the record for the Earth’s hottest day on record – a record that was broken the very next day on Monday, July 22.
According to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) data, the daily global average temperature on Sunday reached a new record high at 17.09 C, slightly exceeding the previous record of 17.08 C from July 6, 2023.
The record stood for one day.
On Monday, the daily global average temperature reached a new record high at 17.15 C.
Scientists at the agency say the worst may not be over.
“The event is still ongoing and it is possible the date of the peak may still change, but our data suggest we may see slightly lower temperatures in the next few days,” Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo said in a statement Tuesday.
The previous record set on July 6, 2023, was part of a long streak of record-breaking daily global average temperatures in July and August 2023. Since July 3, 2023, there have been 57 days that have exceeded that previous record. All those days were distributed between July and August 2023, and during June and July so far in 2024.
“What is truly staggering is how large the difference is between the temperature of the last 13 months and the previous temperature records,” Buontempo said.
