July on fire: month was the hottest month in all of history on the north of the planet

According to data from a European weather service, July 2019 went down in history as the hottest month on Earth. Previously, the record was July 2016, but the values ​​recorded this year were 0.04 degrees higher than that year.

Temperatures in Europe and the Arctic were largely responsible for this rise, including it is also blamed for the historical melting of the Greenland ice sheet. The Curious Mega has already talked about this in a news story showing the rise of meltwater lakes in Greenland. See more here.

Even with a considerable temperature rise in the countries of Europe and the Arctic, data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service also identified rising temperatures in various parts of the world, particularly the United States, Africa, Australia and parts of Central Asia. Even Antarctica could be considered “less cold” in July this year. Whether these results could be related to global warming? Scientists have no doubt about that.

According to a study published last week by a collaborative research group (the World Weather Attribution), it ensures that the above-average heatwave that hit Western Europe and Scandinavia was overly influenced by climate change, which reached increase temperatures by up to 3 ° C more than normal in some regions. The study also ensures that if the weather continues like this, the chances of other July months with high temperatures happening are 10 to 100 times depending on the location.

Even with just over four months to the end of 2019, the year has everything to end up confirming the sad record of the hottest of the year. The winter is coming? It seems no more in real life.
