This June was the hottest on record, and July is getting even hotter: “We are just getting a small taste for the types of impacts that we expect to worsen under climate change,” says a Cornell University climate scientist
Both land and ocean were the hottest a June has seen. But the globe’s sea surface — which is 70% of Earth’s area — has set monthly high temperature records in April, May and June and the North Atlantic has been off the charts warm since mid-March, scientists say. The Caribbean region smashed previous records as did the United Kingdom.
The first half of 2023 has been the third hottest January through June on record, behind 2016 and 2020, according to NOAA. NOAA says there’s a 20% chance that 2023 will be the hottest year on record, with next year more likely, but the chance of a record is growing and outside scientists such as Brown University’s Kim Cobb are predicting a “photo finish” with 2016 and 2020 for the hottest year on record. Berkeley Earth’s Robert Rohde said his group figures there’s an 80% chance that 2023 will end up the hottest year on record.
That’s because it’s likely only to get hotter. July is usually the hottest month of the year, and the record for July and the hottest month of any year is 62.08 degrees set in both July 2019 and July 2021. Eleven of the first dozen days in July were hotter than ever on record, according to an unofficial and preliminary analysis by University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer.
NOAA recorded water temperatures around Florida of 98 degrees on Wednesday near the Everglades and 97 degrees on Tuesday near the Florida Keys, while some forecasters are predicting near world record level temperatures in Death Valley of around 130 degrees this weekend.
