NASA has revealed important data on the planet's climate conditions for 2023. The US space agency reported that June was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth.
Data on global temperature were also confirmed by the European observatory Copernicus Climate Change Service, which is located in Brno, Czech Republic.

The observatory report stated that: “June was the hottest month globally, just over 0.5°C above the 1991-2020 average, beating June 2019 – the previous record – by a substantial margin.” The previous record was 0.37°C above the expected average.
Through global temperature analysis, called GISTEMP, The NASA collected data at weather stations in Antarctica and around the world, forwarding them to GISS scientists (Goddard Institute for Space Studies).
The results of both studies identified that June 2023 was the hottest month in the world, with records and heat waves in different continents.
June 2023: record temperature and heat waves
Julien Nicolas, scientist at Copernicus, declared that June has always been a month of high averages of temperature, but the year 2023 presented much higher data, which are considered a anomaly.
To the high temperatures were identified in Europe, North America, Asia and regions of Australia, always with warmer indices than expected.
Several government agencies and meteorological departments carry out periodic analyzes to compare the climatic conditions of the planet.
In June 2023, temperature measurements taken since 2002 using satellites and soil analyzes confirmed the record.
The European Observatory uses data recorded since 1950 as a reference, while the Agency North American uses the period from 1951 to 1980 to analyze temperature variations over of years.

High temperatures continue into July
Another announcement of weather data reports that temperatures will remain high in July. Including, July 3 was the hottest day on the planet in all records made to date.
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO-UN), this thermal sensation will be present throughout the year, with at least moderate temperatures. One of the reasons for this climatic condition is the presence of the phenomenon El Niño in the Pacific Ocean.
