PARIS: The world saw its hottest June on record last month, the EU's climate monitoring service said on Thursday (Jul 6), as climate change and the El Nino weather pattern looked likely to
C3S scientist Julien Nicolas told AFP the June record was driven largely by"very warm ocean surface temperatures" in the Pacific and Atlantic due to El Nino, a periodic warming phenomenon.
The global temperature was 0.53 degrees Celsius above the 30-year average at an average of 16.51 degrees Celsius, he calculated.Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the UN's World Meteorological Organisation, warned on Monday that El Nino"will greatly increase the likelihood of breaking temperature records and triggering more extreme heat in many parts of the world and in the ocean".
In addition, human activity - mainly the burning of fossil fuels - is continuing to emit roughly 40 billion tonnes of planet-warming CO2 into the atmosphere every year. In the United States, local officials said last week that at least 13 people died from an extreme heat wave in Texas and Louisiana.
