China had its hottest month in observed modern history in July.The world registered its hottest day on record on 22 July.
Temperatures averaged 23.21 degrees Celsius last month, eclipsing the 23.17°C in July 2017, China's national television broadcaster reported on Thursday - the highest monthly average since the country began compiling comprehensive data in 1961. What makes this year's record heat unusual is that - unlike in 2023 and 2016 - the El Niño climate pattern, which amplifies global temperatures owing to warmer-than-usual waters in the Eastern Pacific, ended in April but temperatures have not abated.
