July 2019 Marks The Record Of Hottest Month Of All Times

New heights were crossed, but wait there is nothing to celebrate, as our planet sweltered in heat in the last month of July. The temperature soared to new heights and the hottest month in the planet earth of all times have been recorded. The warmth that was recorded also resulted in heavy loss of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice.

If we look more closely, one can find that the data suggests that the average global temperature in July reached 1.71 degrees F above than the 20th century’s average. The earlier records were 60.4 degrees, this ultimately made the July 2019, the hottest month of all times.
According to researches done by scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, earlier the hottest month recorded was in 2016. July has always been the number one when it comes to hottest month’s race, since 2005 it has known that nine of the 10 hottest July’s have occurred till now, in which the last five years ranks as the five hottest. This clearly indicates how rapidly our environment is moving towards disastrous results.

Last month was also recorded as the 43rd and 415th consecutive July and month respectively with above average figures of global temperature.
With the hottest month of all times this year is also tying with 2017 to become the second hottest year till date. More notable facts and stats are as follows- Average Arctic sea ice is running 19.8% lower than average. According to records the average Antarctic sea- ice coverage was found to be 4.3% below than the average figures of 1981-2010, which ultimately made it the smallest for July in the 41-year record.
This was all for the data in hotter regions but along with that some cool spots also like parts of Scandinavia and western and eastern Russia had temperatures which were recorded at least 2.7 degrees F below than the average.

Our planet is continuously indicating us about the repercussions that are caused due to human habits, temperature rise is one such issue which depends on humanly activities. Thus, its high time to improve!
