Tuesday was the hottest day ever measured globally, easily beating the record set the day before, according to preliminary measurements on Wednesday from an American meteorological observatory, while global temperatures are almost daily at levels not seen since the beginning of June. . On the day of July 4, the average air temperature on the surface of the planet was measured at 17.18 ° C by an organization dependent on the American Agency for Oceanic and Atmospheric Observation (NOAA), which n However, no official confirmation has yet been given for this day.
The air temperature, which fluctuates between approximately 12°C and 17°C daily average during the year, averaged 16.20°C at the beginning of July between 1979 and 2000 according to this system of measurements.
These records, which have yet to be substantiated, are likely to be broken again soon as the summer season begins in the Northern Hemisphere and the average global temperature generally continues to rise until late July-early August. Already in early June, global average temperatures were the hottest ever recorded for this period by Europe’s Copernicus service, beating previous records by a “substantial margin”.
These observations are a probable foretaste of the El Niño phenomenon, generally associated with an increase in global temperatures, coupled with the effects of global warming caused by human activity.
