BRUSSELS (Reuters) -
"Last month was the world’s third-hottest July on
record, new data show — the latest milestone in a global warming trend
that has seen the three hottest Julys within the last five years.
With the heat has come a high level of ice melt in the Arctic, where the extent of sea ice last month hit the lowest level for July since the polar satellite record-keeping began four decades ago, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
The new
findings come as France and Belgium brace for a possible weekend heat wave, while Italian roads near an Alpine glacier were closed amid
warnings that high temperatures could cause ice to collapse.
“It’s not just a summer thing,” said Copernicus senior scientist Freja Vamborg. “It’s on a global scale, and all months are warming.”
Atmospheric temperature records dating back to the mid-19th century reveal the last five years to be the hottest yet. In terms of records for the month of July, only 2019 and 2016 were warmer than last month. "
