“Two years after the hottest July in the history of observations, a number of global temperature records have stopped – at least now. But this does not mean that climate changes have stopped,” said Karlo Buontempo, director of the COPERNICUS climate change service.
He stressed that the service continues to observe the consequences of global warming.
The EU monitoring agency has stated that new temperature records and even more extreme climatic phenomena should be expected if the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is not reduced.
The climate change service reported that the average surface temperature of the Earth last month was still 1.25 ° C higher than in the pre -industrial period of 1850-1900, before people began to burn oil, gas and coal widely.
According to the service, the average global air temperature on the surface in July reached 16.68 ° C, which is 0.45 ° C above the average for 1991-2020 for this month.
Despite the slightly cooler July, the 12-month period from August 2024 to July 2025 was 1.53 ° C warmer than the pre-industrial level, exceeding the threshold set in 2015 to limit anthropogenic warming to 1.5 ° C.
Julien Nicholas, a senior researcher of Copernicus, noted that it is important to consider a decrease in the temperature of the last month in the context of two abnormal years in terms of warming.
“We really come out of a series of record global temperatures that lasted for almost two years,” he said.
Nicholas added that as long as a long -term trend for warming, extreme weather phenomena will continue to occur.
We will remind, on July 26 in Hungary recorded the highest temperature for more than 100 years, which almost reached the absolute record.
In the south of the neighboring Romania in the hottest hours of the same day, they expected up to 43 ° C.
