Climatologist: July Is Likely to Be The hottest Month in Thousands of Years

The chief climatologist at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) suggested Thursday that the current month of July will likely be the hottest in the world in "hundreds if not thousands of years."

This month, July, has already witnessed daily records being broken according to observatories run by the European Union (EU) and the University of Maine, USA, which rely on generating preliminary estimates based on models that combine ground and satellite data.

And the climatologist Gavin Schmidt considered, in a meeting organized by "NASA" with journalists that Although the results of these observatories differ slightly from each other, the extreme rise in temperatures is evident.

Schmidt calculated that there is a 50% chance that 2023 will be the hottest year on record "but experts expect the year 2024 to be hotter because we will start with the El Nino phenomenon, which is growing now, and will peak at the end of this year," he added, according to AFP.
