This year's July was the second hottest on record, and is only slightly cooler than the same month in 2023, according to a report published by the European Union's climate monitor, Copernicus.
This July, the global average temperature was 16.91 degrees Celsius, or 0.04 degrees below the average temperature in July 2023, which is considered the hottest month on record.
By June, average monthly temperatures had broken records every month since May of last year.
"The streak of record-breaking months was interrupted, but only briefly," says Copernicus Climate Change Service Deputy Director Samantha Burgess.
"The devastating effects of climate change began well before 2023 and will continue until global greenhouse gas emissions reach zero," she added.
Copernicus data show that for the period from August 2023 to July 2024, the average global temperature was 1.64 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average.
According to the report, the thermometer marked above average in southern and eastern Europe, and near or below average in northwestern Europe.
The Copernicus climate service regularly publishes data on Earth's surface temperature, sea ice cover and precipitation, all based on computer analysis that includes measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the globe.
