The old record for the world’s hottest day – set in 2016 – has been beaten this year due to climate change and an El Nîno weather pattern that is currently emerging.

The US National Centres for Environmental Prediction says that the average global temperature reached 17.01˚C on Monday, 3 July 2023. The previous record was set in August 2016 at 16.92˚C.

SkyNews reports that China and the US were hit by heatwaves seeing temperatures over 35˚C, while North Africa reached temperatures of almost 50˚C.

The Met Office in the UK recorded June as the warmest on record, with a mean average temperature of 15.8˚C.

The world’s hottest day ‘is not a milestone we should be celebrating. It is a death sentence for people and ecosystems,’ said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Britain’s Imperial College London.’
