Continent records hottest ever summer as analysis shows temperatures rising twice as fast as global average
While every year from 2015 onwards saw average temperatures more than 1C above the reference level, only one year between 1940 and 2014 reached that mark.
Burgess said that “right now we’re running globally at 1.2C of warming above the pre-industrial average. That means we’re very close to the Paris agreement’s cut-off of 1.5C of warming. In response to the findings, Hannah Cloke, professor of hydrology at the University of Reading, said: “Annual and monthly average temperature records are continuing to tumble across the world. This is entirely to be expected and fits in well with scientific predictions that have been made for several decades.
