To say that global temperatures in July have been exceptional is an understatement. The monthly is on track to shatter the prior July record by a massive margin, be the warmest month in terms of both absolute temperatures and anomalies.

Global average sea surface temperatures typically peak in March. Yet, in 2023, Copernicus ECMWF and Copernicus EU data showed they reached a record high of 20.96°C on 31 July 🌡️ This is the largest temperature anomaly for any July on record. #StateofClimate #ClimateChange
