According to the European Union’s climate change checking services, the northern hemisphere has had the hottest summer ever since record-keeping began.
The summertime of June to August 2024, according to a monthly report from The Copernicus Climate Change Service ( C3S), broke the previous year’s history and became the best ever recorded.
The likelihood that 2024 will beat 2023 as the hottest year ever increases as a result of this extraordinary temperature.
C3S ‘ data, which extends up to 1940, was cross-checked with additional information to ensure that this summertime was the hottest since the pre-industrial phase of 1850.
The world has experienced the hottest June and August of this year, the hottest day on record, and the hottest northern summer on record, according to C3S assistant director Samantha Burgess.
Extreme weather events will proceed to get worse without serious action to stop greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main contributor to climate change.
Throughout the summers, the changing culture has continued to cause catastrophe. In Sudan, big storms in August affected over 300, 000 people and brought typhoid to the war-torn state. Additionally, researchers found that climate change is causing intense, ongoing drought in Sicily and Sardinia, as well as Typhoon Gaemi, which swept through the Philippines, Taiwan, and China in July, and that it is aggravated by it.
The record-breaking heat earlier this year were caused by both human-induced climate change and the El Nino healthy weather phenomenon. Global sea surface temperature remained unusually high despite Copernicus ‘ observation last month that below-average conditions in the tropical Pacific last month suggested a shift to the cool La Nina stage. August 2024 was hotter than any other August on record, except for 2023.
