Los Angeles Times : The average global temperature for the month of July was 16.61 °C, the highest monthly global temperature since record-keeping began in 1880. That information comes from a recent report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Record-high temperatures were observed in many regions, including eastern Africa, northern South America, parts of southern Europe and central Asia, and the western US. Moreover, the first seven months of the year were also the hottest January-to-July period since 1880. The findings support NOAA’s prediction of an El Niño event occurring later this year.
