[U X2: 5 Days In A Row!] Breaking A Record Set One Year Prior -- Now On THREE Two Consecutive Days: Hottest Globally, In Recorded Human History.


It was just about a year ago that we noted the previous hottest day ever, globally.

This week, we broke that record thrice twice, on consecutive days -- July 3, 4 and 5, 2023. Here are the details:

. . .The average global air temperature recorded 2 metres above Earth’s surface was 17.18°C (62.92°F) on 4 July, the highest that has ever been recorded. The previous record was set the day before. . . .

Before that, the next highest-temperature on record was recorded jointly in August 2016 and July 2022, when average global temperatures reached 16.92°C (62.46°F). The two consecutive days of record-breaking global heat confirms scientists’ warnings that 2023 is likely to be one of the hottest years on record, as the twin effects of climate change and a warming El Nino climate pattern drive temperatures to new highs. . . .


These are facts, whether the petro-chemical and dirty coal industries condescend to believe them or not -- they remain. . . facts. Onward, into only slightly less lethal heat indices here on Wednesday. Sheesh.
