Last month was the third most hot July on Earth since there are records, and included a national record temperature in Türkiye of 50.5 degrees Celsius, as scientists said Thursday. Last month a trend of extreme climatic conditions continued that scientists attribute to global warming caused by the human being, although there was a pause in the record temperatures of the planet.
According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (Copernicus Climate Change Service, abbreviated as C3S) of the European Union, the global surface air temperature reached 16.68 degrees in July, which represents 0.45 degrees above the average of the month between 1991 and 2020.
“Two years after the most hot July, the recent global temperature record streak is over, for now,” said Carlo Bontempo, director of the C3S.
“But this does not mean that climate change has stopped. We are still witnessing the effects of a world that is heated in events such as extreme heat and catastrophic floods of July.”
Although it was not as hot as the July 2023 record and the second warmer in July 2024, the average temperature of the land surface last month was still 1.25 degrees above the preindustrial period of 1850-1900, when human beings began to burn fossil fuels at an industrial scale.

Julio was the third most hot month recorded on Earth
In addition, the 12 -month period between August 2024 and July 2025 was 1.53 degrees warmer than pre -industrial levels, exceeding the threshold of 1.5 degrees that was set at most in the Paris Agreement that sought to stop the global warming and which entered into force in 2016.
The main cause of climate change is the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. Last year he was the hottest ever registered in the world.
The has not yet officially exceeded the objective of 1.5 degrees, which refers to a long -term global average temperature for several decades.
However, some scientists argue that staying below this threshold is no longer realistic. They urge governments to accelerate the cuts of CO2 emissions to reduce the scope of overwhelming and stop the increase in extreme meteorological phenomena.
The C3S has temperature records that date back to 1940, crossed with world data that date back to 1850.
