“During the past 3 months of 2024, the world has skilled the mostpopular June and August, the mostpopular day on record, and the mostpopular boreal summerseason on record.

This year will likewise likely be the state’s sixth-hottest on record.
“Temperatures every season haveactually been going up a little bit more than a half degree Fahrenheit per years in Texas, at least for the past half-century, and it’s been a relatively steady increase,” he stated.

This puts the summertime of 2024 at 0.03 degrees Celsius (0.05 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than the summerseason of 2023, which was the second-hottest on record for Texas and third-hottest for Dallas-Fort Worth.
While this July and last July were almost connected, temperature-wise, this June and August were the mostpopular on record worldwide. The average temperaturelevel in August was 0.71 degrees Celsius (1.28 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1991 to 2020 average for the month, Copernicus discovered.
The worldwide typical temperaturelevel for the past 12 months—between September 2023 and August 2024—is the greatest on record for any 12-month duration: 0.76 degrees Celsius (1.4 degrees Fahrenheit) above the
