July 3 was Hottest Day on Earth, Says US Climate Data

July 3 was recorded as the hottest day on earth, reported The Hill quoting the data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of America.

On July 3, the average global air temperature 2 meters above the planet’s surface touched 62.62 degrees Fahrenheit or 17.01 degrees Celsius.

July 3 temperatures beat the previous record set in July 2022 and August 2016 of 62.46 degrees Fahrenheit or 16.92 degrees Celsius.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Robert Rohde, of the University of California, “NCEP (National Centers for Environmental Prediction) has placed Earth’s average temperature yesterday as the hottest single day thus far measured by humans. This is driven by the combination of El Nino on top of global warming, and we may well see a few even warmer days over the next 6 weeks.”

Rohde predicted more scorching temperatures over the next month and a half.
