Monday was most likely the hottest day ever recorded on Earth, with a global average of about 62.87 degrees Fahrenheit, or 17.15 degrees Celsius, preliminary data showed - beating a record that had been set just one day before.
Carlo Buontempo, the director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, stated, 'What is truly staggering is how large the difference is between the temperature of the last 13 months and the previous temperature records...we are bound to see new records being broken in future months and years.'
Buontempo mentioned that there could be slightly lower temperatures in the next few days, despite the recent record highs in 2023 and 2024.
