C3S data confirms that July 2023 was the hottest July yet. The average monthly temperature was 16.95°C, well above the previous record in July 2019 (16.63°C), climate scientists point out.
According to them, the second month of summer began with the fact that for four days in a row, from July 3 to 6, the daily world record for average air temperature was broken.
All days until the end of July were hotter than the previous record of 16.80°C set on August 13, 2016, making the 29 days from July 3 to July 31 the hottest days on record, the climate scientists added.
On the hottest day – July 6 – the average global temperature reached 17.08°C, and the daily data recorded on July 5 and 7 differed within 0.01°C.
During the first and third weeks of the month, temperatures also temporarily exceeded a threshold of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, a limit set by the Paris Agreement that first occurred in July, the scientists noted.
Also, according to the observations of the meteorological station of the Central Geophysical Observatory named after Boris Sreznevsky, the average monthly air temperature in Kyiv in July was +21.5°С, which is 0.2°С above the climatic norm. The coldest in the capital was on July 12, when the minimum temperature dropped to +13.5°C in the morning, and the warmest on July 6, when the maximum temperature in the afternoon rose to +32.7°C.
