Social Media Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 The new record beats the previous figure - set back in August 2016 - and has been put down to a combination of climate change and an emerging El Nino weather pattern. The average global temperature reached 17.01C (62.62F) on Monday, according to the US National Centres for Environmental Prediction. The figure surpasses the previous record of 16.92C (62.46F) - set back in August 2016. It comes as the southern US and China have been hit by heatwaves, while temperatures in North Africa have neared 50C (122F). Experts have blamed a combination of climate change and an emerging El Nino weather pattern. "This is not a milestone we should be celebrating," said climate scientist Friederike Otto of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Britain's Imperial College London.

Kwasaki Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Around April time it was hot this year in Sukhothai had quite a bit rain since and air is coolish, only 32 at the moment and much cloud blocking sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nauseus Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Strange that after finding this US National Centres for Environmental Prediction at: https://www.weather.gov/organization/ and https://www.weather.gov/news/ there is no such story (or similar).

Even if your claim wasn't false... The Mercury in the northern province of Sukhothai, Thailand's former capital, has shot to 44 degrees Celsius, the highest the province has ever registered in April, and nearing the highest ever recorded in the country of 44.5 degrees in Uttaradit. https://www.thejakartapost.com/seasia/2016/04/13/forecasters-warn-of-heat-stroke-in-thailand.html it would only go to show that you don't understand the difference between weather and climate. If, contrary to fact, Sukkothai had avoided extreme temperatures this year, which it didn't, that would just have been luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warmer the seas become, the less oxygen they can hold. Global warming is causing a more pronounced dip in marine species richness around the equator We use distribution data on 48,661 species to show that marine biodiversity has been responding to climate warming at a global scale. We show that marine species richness levels off or declines in latitudinal bands with average annual sea surface temperatures exceeding 20 °C. This results in a dip in species richness around the equator that has become more pronounced as the climate has warmed, especially for pelagic species. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2015094118 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
