The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced that July 2019 matched, and possibly broke, the record for the hottest month since analysis began.
About:
The finding emerged from analysis of new data from the WMO and the Copernicus Climate Change Programme, run by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.
July 2019 was close to 1.2°C above the pre-industrial level. The previous warmest month on record was July 2016, and July 2019 was at least on par with it.
July 2019 vs July 2016:
This finding is significant because in July 2016 there was a strong occurrence of the El Niño phenomenon, a system of complex weather patterns that contribute to warmer global temperatures.
This July, there were no strong occurrences of the El Niño phenomenon making the rise in temperatures seen across the world particularly striking.
