For the third time in a week, the average global temperature has be greater than previous records. According to data assessed by a team of US experts, Thursday’s worldwide average temperature was 17.23C. It tops the previous record of 17.01C established on Monday, which was beaten the following day when the average temperature hit 17.18C.
El Nio, a naturally occurring weather phenomenon, and human-induced climate change, according to experts, are driving up temperatures. The most significant change in the climate anyplace on Earth is caused by the El Nio Southern Oscillation, or ENSO. Every from three to seven years, it goes through a warming phase during which warmer waters from the tropical Pacific rise to the surface and release heat onto the atmosphere.

Scientists studying climate change expressed alarm despite not being shocked by the breaking of the world daily temperature record, according to Friederike Otto, a professor in climate science at Imperial College in London. It “must serve as an awakening for anybody who thinks that the globe needs additional supplies of oil and gas,” she continued.This week is the first time since August 2016 that the record has been broken.Experts caution that many cultures still need to adjust to the effects of more intense heat on both people and the environment.
Climate Reanalyzer is the source of the temperature measurements. To determine the average world temperature, researchers at the University of Maine combine measurements from surface, air balloon, and satellite observations with computer models. Although the measurements are not official government records, they are frequently monitored as a gauge of temperature changes.
According to the Associated Press, the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), the US meteorological agency, stated on Thursday that it was unable to corroborate data that were partially based on computer models. However, we are aware that climate change has caused us to be in a warm phase, according to NOAA. Scientists caution that this summer will likely see more heat records broken since it is unusually hot.
Dr. Paulo Ceppi, a professor specialising in climate science at Imperial College London, stated that since El Nio hasn’t reached its height and summer is still in full force in the Northern Hemisphere, it wouldn’t be shocking if the daily temperature record were again surpassed in 2023.Heatwaves and wildfires are anticipated to become hotter and more severe as a result of rising global temperatures, he noted.

According to the EU’s climate monitoring organization Copernicus, last month was the warmest June on record. The hottest day on record for the whole planet. Climate phase of El Nio has started to warm the earth. A brief explanation of climate change
Environment organizations warned that “unprecedented” fish fatalities occurred in the UK in June due to record-high temperatures, and that the wilting of the plants insects depend on might harm their ability to survive.
According to a UK Met Office analysis, the likelihood of a hot June has increased more than double. The world is still experiencing intense heat, with regions of China seeing temperatures below 40 degrees and North Africa experiencing temperatures close to 50 degrees. This summer, Southern Europe may see more than 60 days with hazardous circumstances for people, the European Environment Agency said in June.
Additionally, crops are impacted by above-average temperatures, and wildfire risk is increased. Recent weeks have also seen a rise in water temperature, with a maritime heat wave across the UK and Ireland.

Additionally, the area of Antarctic sea ice fell to its lowest level for June since satellite measurements started, 17% below normal. Governments all across the world have made a commitment to lowering their carbon emissions until they achieve net zero, or the day when greenhouse gas emissions from humans will halt. According to Dr. Ceppi, the planet won’t achieve net zero until about the time when global temperatures start to roughly stabilize.
