June was Hottest Ever Recorded on Earth
July Kicks Off With 26C High After June was 'Earth's Hottest Ever'
More warm weather is expected this week, with temperatures soaring to 26C, following the earth's hottest June on record last month
Daily Mirror UK, 3 July 2019.
Last month was officially the hottest June ever recorded, climate experts have confirmed.
Temperatures soared across the world, with Europe seeing the mercury rise to more than 2C above normal.
The so-called “Saharan Bubble” plume of hot air plunged the continent into a five-day heatwave, breaking records in France which saw its hottest ever day on Friday.
This led to the month being around 1C hotter than the previous record set for Europe in 1999, and about 1C higher than expected from the trend in recent decades

Global-average temperatures were also at an all-time high for the month, beating the previous record set in 2016 by 0.1C.
Three years ago, June was hit by the “El Niño” phenomenon, in which sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean became unusually warm.
