Earth just had its two warmest days in over 80 years, topping a record set just one year ago.
The back-to-back records: On Sunday, globally averaged temperatures over the planet's oceans and land masses reached 17.09 degrees Celsius (62.76 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the European Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
That was 0.01 degrees Celsius above the previous warmest day for the planet set on July 6, 2023, in the ERA5 dataset dating to 1940, according to C3S.
Then Monday, the planet's average temperature ticked up to 17.15 degrees Celsius, leapfrogging Sunday's record.

How do we know. Who was taking temperatures in 1000 AD.
and even when they started taking temps how accurate were they and when were the thermometers installed and how often were they read?
The stupid, it hurts.
Same for North Texas. Not even getting to the mid 90s. Recent storms have the grass looking good.
So why were the 1930s warmer?
My thoughts exactly.
lol! SINCE 1940🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In our part of TX, it has been a less hot summer than typical. This is all climate porn.
Excellent. Consider that stolen

When NOAA got in the weather forecasting business, they built meteorological observation stations all over the country, usually just outside the city limits where they could keep tabs on the “natural” environment.
Over the decades since, “urban sprawl” has overtaken these once bucolic weather reporting stations, which means they’re now surrounded by paved roads and concrete buildings. And in compliance with the “Islands of Heat” weather hypothesis, cities are always hotter than the surrounding countryside because the man-made structures absorb and retain heat more readily than the natural environment does.
Which means that even if the prevailing climate hadn’t changed one whit, it is to be expected that these weather observation posts would say it was getting hotter.
There’s also the fact that they’re rigging the system. Enviro-weenies have been caught installing new metero stations in locations guaranteed to read abnormally hot, such as downwind (according to the area’s prevailing winds) from the HVAC discharge chutes of large office buildings.
And back in the 1980s, the city of Phoenix announced that to raise its tourism profile, it was moving it’s official weather station to a hotter location so it could unseat Tucson as the hottest major city in Arizona (and I doubt Phoeix has been alone in that regard).
Good points.
When clocks were first invented, they only measured by the hour.
Ancient "thermometers" were probably not particularly accurate either.
There's no way to know or compare what they measured.
Exactly! What about the Roman Warm Period 2,000 years ago when Great Britain had Mediterranean type weather? And who's history, people born in the last 30 years?

I’m sorry, FRiend, but I am a certified grammar nazi. It is never correct to pluralize by adding apostrophe s. The plural of July is Julys

A few days ago other outlets were reporting the warmest days on record.
That’s nice, but who even cares?
BFD !
Just spent the day in Manhattan. Two layers. Lunch at bergdorfs thank you for not bombarding us w AC like they do in Texas.

No. I need a sweater. It was a sunny day, too

The ERA5 dataset is a reanalysis of hourly meteorological conditions back to 1979. The dataset combines a weather model with observational data from satellites and ground sensors to build a consistent long-term record of our climate. … It contains estimates of atmospheric variables such as air temperature, pressure and wind at different altitudes, as well as surface variables such as rainfall, soil moisture content and ocean wave height. ERA5 is replacing ECMWF’s previous atmospheric reanalysis, ERA-Interim, and will be extended even further in the course of this year with meteorological data going back to 1950.
Parenthetically, “data” is a plural word.
Straight from the Wikipedia:
The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States
