Al Jazeera analyses 20 years of climate data from more than 1,200 cities around the world. Here is what we found.
July 21 was the hottest day ever recorded globally, with an average temperature of 17.09C (62.76F), according to preliminary data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Earlier this month, data released by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NOAA) showed that the last month was the Earth’s hottest June since global record-keeping began in 1850.
June 2024 was not just too hot, but the 13th consecutive month that a global heat record was broken.
Heatwaves have become more frequent and cities are experiencing more days above 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).
