From Antarctica to North Africa via the United States and China: the Earth had never experienced such a high average temperature as this Monday, July 3.
This is a new world record. Monday July 3, 2023 was the hottest day on record, according to data from the US Center for Environmental Prediction, with a median temperature of 17.01°C compared to a previous record high of 16.92°C in August 2016, as heat waves are increasing.

While the southern United States has been under an oppressive heat dome in recent weeks, China is experiencing a prolonged heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 35 ° C. North Africa saw the thermometer settle close to 50°C.
Even in Antarctica
Even in Antarctica, where it is the winter season, temperatures are abnormally high.
“This is not a milestone we need to celebrate,” said climatologist Friederike Otto, a fellow at the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London. “It’s a death sentence for people and ecosystems.”
