Standard Series

  • BREAKING RECORDS: The world's hottest day record has been broken three times this week. According to the Associated Press , the average global temperature on Monday hit a record high of 17.01 degrees Celsius. Temperatures were 17.18 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the agency, and on Thursday, global temperatures hit a new record of 17.23 degrees Celsius, according to the AP .

  • 120,000 years old: However, new records could soon be broken again, scientists tell the Guardian . Dr. Carsten Hausten, a climatologist at the University of Leipzig, told the paper: “The coming days are likely to see a slight dip, but since the annual global temperature maximum is at the end of July, we are likely to see more hot days, warmer than the day before. There is a high probability that July will be the warmest month ever and thus become the hottest month of the year: "most" means since the Eimian era about 120,000 years ago.

  • On the ground: The world has been affected by the fallout from record heat. Above-average temperatures were recorded in a number of countries including India, Iran and Canada, while scorching heat in Mexico killed more than 100 people and Beijing recorded the hottest June ever, according to Reuters . On Thursday, Africa recorded its hottest night on record, with temperatures never dropping below 39.6°C in Adrar, Algeria, according to a tweet by atmospheric sciences student Colin McCarthy. It comes as Nigeria has begun preparations for another round of deadly floods, according to a Nigeria Vanguard report.


Data and information source :

This page provides time series and map depictions of mean air temperature at elevation 2 m per day from the National Center for Climate Prediction (NCEP) Climate Prediction System (CFS) Version 2 (April 2011 - present) and CFS reanalysis (January 1979 - March 2011). CFS/CFSR is a digital climate/weather modeling framework that ingests surface observations, air balloons, and satellites to estimate the state of the atmosphere with hourly time resolution as of January 1, 1979. The cell's horizontal grid resolution is 0.5° x 0.5° (about 55 km at 45° N latitude). ). Temperature fluctuations are a climatic indication for the period 1979-2000 for each specific day of the year. The mean daily temperatures here are estimates computed from the NCEP CFS/CFSR dataset, and the standard values shown should be considered in this context. For global average monthly and annual temperatures from 1880 to the present, please refer to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the overall climate.
