July 2024 ranks as the hottest July in NASA’s GISTEMP record

July 2024 ranks as the hottest July in NASA’s GISTEMP record. This July was slightly higher than July 2023, the previous record holder. However, the difference is small enough that the two are effectively tied. The global mean temperature anomaly for July 2024 was 1.21°C (2.18 °F) above the 1951-1980 July average. Slight variations in the observations and analysis mean there is a margin of error or confidence interval around the data. July 2024’s interval overlaps heavily with July 2023, so although July 2024 was the warmest July — and month — in our record, it effectively ties July 2023. #Earth #Climate #ClimateChange #Temperature #NASA #Science

While the transition to La Niña has been slower than initially expected, it’s still likely to form later this year.

Cooler waters are building in the tropical Pacific While the transition to La Niña has been slower than initially expected, it’s still likely to form later this year.  The global climate summary for June is out and here are some stats... - June 2024 was the warmest June on record for the globe in NOAA's 175-year recor d. - The June global surface temperature was 1.22°C (2.20°F) above the 20th-century average of 15.5°C (59.9°F).  - This is 0.15°C (0.27°F) warmer than the previous June record set last year, and the 13th consecutive month of record-high global temperatures. This ties with May 2015-May 2016 for the longest record warm global temperature streak in the modern record (since 1980).
