Summer 2024 was world's warmest on record

Recent climate data indicates a trend of increasing extreme weather events and rising global temperatures. The European climate monitor warns that if emissions are not significantly reduced, extreme weather will become more intense. Summer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere reached record highs, making it likely that 2024 will be the hottest year on record. The past three months were the hottest on record globally, with temperatures 0.69C above the long-term average. The record warmth was driven by above-average temperatures in countries such as China, Canada, and Australia.
