Earth temperature hits record temp then breaks it the next day
Copernicus, the European climate service, reported July 21 the earth sizzled to the hottest day ever measured by humans, only to be surpassed the very next day.
Copernicus preliminary data shows the global average temperature on July 21 was 62.76 degree, beating the record set just last year on July 6, 2023 by .02 degrees. Both of those marks shattered the previous record of 62.24 degrees set in 2016.
Then on July 22 the new record was 0.1 degree higher than the day before. The Associated Press reports climate scientists say the world is now as warm as it was 125,000 years ago because of human-caused climate change. While scientists cannot be certain Monday was the very hottest day through that period, average temperatures have not been this high since long before humans developed agriculture.
