It’s so hot that July 2021 has been listed as the hottest in history since there are records 142 years ago.
It is hot, very hot, and in fact right now we are involved in a heat wave that is hitting a large part of Europe and marking really high temperatures like the one experienced in Sicily on August 11, when the mercury reached 48.8 ° C.
This summer is being really hot, and despite the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States has cataloged the month of July as the hottest in recorded history.
They explain that last month, July 2021, the combined ocean and land surface temperature was 0.93 ° C higher than the 20th century average, beating the previous July heat record. But July 2021 has not only been the hottest July in history, but also the hottest month since temperatures are being recorded, something that has been done for 142 years.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration points out that this new record “joins the disruptive path that climate change has set for the world”. However, the report notes that the northern hemisphere has been particularly hot, with land surface temperatures averaging 1.54 ° C above average, a heat anomaly that they consider “unprecedented, never seen before”.
With these data on the table, and taking into account that August 2021 is also especially hot, and even more so with this heat wave that has even reached record temperatures in Europe, it is expected that this month also marks a new record, making 2021 it is possibly the hottest year in history.
Although all life has been hot in the summer months, the truth is that these suffocating temperatures have increased since the beginning of the new century due to climate change, a change in our temperatures that seems inevitable and where the human species will have to reinvent yourself from the next century if you want to survive.
