![]() ![]() ![]() Sea ice coverage hit a record low: July 2023 set a record for the lowest global July sea ice extent (coverage) on record. As we continue to see continued increases in concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, this long-term warming will continue and temperature records will continue to be broken.” “2015 to 2022 were the eight warmest years on record, and this is on the back of a clear warming decade-on-decade. “News of the warmest month on record perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, said Chris Hewitt, WMO Director of Climate Services, told the media briefing. These records have dire consequences for both people and the planet exposed to ever more frequent and intense extreme events,” Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), told a media briefing at the United Nations in Geneva. “We just witnessed global air temperatures and global ocean surface temperatures set new all-time records in July. It is expected that the biggest El Niño temperature impacts will be felt in 2024. The record ocean heat is being reported at the start of an El Niño event, which is expected to lead to higher temperatures, more marine heatwaves and coral bleaching. ![]() Marine heatwaves developed south of Greenland and in the Labrador Sea, in the Caribbean basin, and across the Mediterranean Sea. The North Atlantic was 1.05☌ above average in July. For the month as a whole, global average sea surface temperatures were 0.51☌ above the 1991-2020 average. Global average sea surface temperatures continued to rise, after a long period of unusually high temperatures since April 2023, reaching record high levels in July. South America had its highest monthly temperature anomaly of any month on record. It said July was 0.33☌ warmer than the previous warmest month, July 2019.Īsia, Africa, and South America each had their warmest July on record. July was estimated to have been around 1.5☌ warmer than the pre-industrial average for 1850-1900, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, operated by the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting.

Globally averaged surface air temperature for all months of July from 1940 to 2023. The year to date has been the third warmest on record. WMO uses the datasets in its State of the Global Climate reports and to inform decision-makers around the world. The monthly climate monitoring reports from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA confirm the extraordinary pace of climate change as a result of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For the fourth consecutive month, the global ocean surface temperature hit a record high. Earth just had its hottest July on record.
