This year the heat has troubled people all over the world. According to many media reports, compared to the past few years, this year the heat has been the highest in Asia and other countries. Europe’s climate agency Copernicus has claimed that the earth’s temperature has been the highest during this summer. Today we will tell you what the research has revealed.
The hottest year
Let us tell you that according to the agency, this year has been the hottest year in the history of humanity. Scientists say that apart from man-made causes, climate change, El Nino effect and weather related changes are the reasons for the record breaking heat. People have been very troubled due to extreme heat all over the world and the main reason for this is global warming.
higher temperature than last year
According to Copernicus, the average temperature in June, July and August was 16.8 degrees Celsius (62.24 degrees Fahrenheit). This is 0.03 degrees Celsius (0.05 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the old record of 2023. Copernicus records exist only from 1940, but American, British and Japanese records, which begin in the mid-19th century, show that the average temperature in the last decade has been the warmest. Scientists believe that this is the highest temperature in the last 1,20,000 years.
Temperature changes
Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo said that the average temperature during the month of August in the years 2024 and 2023 has been 16.82 degrees Celsius, which is equal to the global temperature. Scientists say that according to the data, the previous year i.e. 2023 was also very hot on average and there was a discussion whether 2023 was the hottest year on earth. But now after the figures of 2024 have come out, it has become clear that this year has been the hottest year on earth. According to some experts, the heat will increase further in the coming years and the biggest reason for this is global warming. Due to which a huge change in temperature is being seen.
According to media reports, climatologist Jonathan Overpack says that this year, the temperature in Arizona, USA has been above 37.8 degrees Celsius for more than 100 days. At the same time, incidents like heat wave, heavy rains, floods have also increased. He said that ignoring climate change can prove to be costly.
