July 4 was recorded as the hottest day ever globally since satellite monitoring began in 1979, with a global temperature of 17.18°C (62.9°F).
Climatologists have said that July is likely to be the warmest month on record in “hundreds, if not thousands, of years,” with a warning that the heat will only get worse.

"We are seeing unprecedented changes all over the world. We are seeing heatwaves in the US, Europe, and China,” Climatologist Gavin Schmidt, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told reporters on Thursday at a conference.

Schmidt says that there are certain chances which may cause 2023 to be the hottest year that has ever been recorded.
However, many scientists claim that 2024 can be even hotter than 2023, as global temperatures will likely peak toward the end of this year.
According to Schmidt, primary cause behind the rising temperature is human emissions of greenhouse gases.
