Global Heat Records Broken on Consecutive Days
Scientists use advanced reanalysis techniques to confirm unprecedented temperature highs.
- The world experienced its hottest day on record, followed by an even hotter day within 24 hours.
- The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service uses reanalysis, combining temperature data and models, to monitor global climate.
- Reanalysis allows for near-real-time climate assessments, providing accurate temperature, wind, and precipitation data.
- Five major weather services globally corroborate these findings through continuous temperature appraisals.
- Recent temperatures are likely the highest in approximately 100,000 years, based on historical and modern data.
