00:00In June, it was hotter than any other previous June, and the thirteenth hottest month in a row for the respective month of the year, as evidenced by Copernicus' service for climate change.
00:25The June detail recorded an average temperature of 16.66 ° C, 0.67 ° above the average of the period between 1991 and 2020 for the month of June and 0.14 ° above the previous maximum established in June 2023.
00:43Not only that, the month has exceeded 1.5 ° C, the estimated average of June for the period of pre-industrial reference, thus becoming the twelfth consecutive month to reach or exceed the threshold of 1.5 ° C indicated by the Paris Accords.
00:58According to Carlo Bontempo, director of the Copernicus service for climate change, this is something more than a statistical strangeness that highlights an important and continuous change in our climate.
01:10And if this specific series of extreme events will end at some point, we are destined to see new breaking records as the climate continues to warm up. This is inevitable unless we stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and oceans.
01:26Returning to the numbers that are based for the most part on the ERA 5 set, the global average temperature of the last 12 months, July 2023-June 2024, is the highest ever recorded with 0.76 ° C above the average for the period between 1991 and 2020 and 1.64 ° C above the pre-industrial average of the period between 1850 and 1900. For Europe it was the warmest second June.
