Iulie a fost cea mai fierbinte lună din SUA, din 1895, de când se fac măsurători ale temperaturii

July was the hottest month recorded in U.S. history, with extreme heat waves leading to record temperatures across the country. Western Europe also experienced its warmest summer start ever, driven by repeated heat waves and droughts. NOAA reported that the average temperature in July was 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average. Climate change is making heat waves more intense and frequent, while the intensifying El Niño phenomenon may further increase global temperatures. The extreme heat affected not only the U.S. but also led to wildfires in several European countries.
