Last July, 13 consecutive months of average heat records on Earth ended, although the 2024 month fell short of surpassing last year's average record temperature, according to the European climate agency Copernicus.
Copernicus announced that a period of 13 consecutive months of warming has ended with a decline in the natural El Niño climate pattern on Earth, and said the overall context has not changed. Copernicus Deputy Director Samantha Burgess said our climate is continuing to warm. According to Copernicus, last July was the second-hottest month on record, after July 2023. Earth also had the two hottest days on record, July 22 and July 23, each with an average temperature of 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit
Such a long sequence of events was recorded in 2015-16
Copernicus said July 2024 was the second warmest July on record and the second warmest July globally, with the average ERA5 surface air temperature being 16.91 degrees Celsius, 0.68 degrees Celsius higher than the July 1991-2020 average and only 0.04 degrees Celsius lower than the previous July 2023 average high set. This marks the end of a 13-month period when each month was the warmest ERA5 data record for the corresponding month of the year. Although unusual, monthly global temperature records for this period were previously recorded during the last strong El Niño event in 2015-16.
