Global temperature will break record after record

In the statement of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it was indicated that an “unprecedented increase” in sea surface temperatures was observed in the north Atlantic Ocean.

He specified that sea surface temperatures reached record levels in May, June and July, and the temperature records experienced in recent months will increase due to the effect of El Niño weather conditions.

Omar Baddour, WMO’s Head of Climate Watch, said the first week of July could be considered “the hottest week on record.”

Noting that in the North Atlantic Ocean, daily temperatures rose significantly compared to normal in June, Baddour said the Antarctic sea ice level was at its lowest level last month.

Baddour noted that heavy rains, which will cause loss of life and migration, can also indicate extreme weather and climate events.

Stating that El Niño conditions predict the hottest year to take place after 2023, Baddour said a record-breaking temperature in 2024 is possible in line with expectations.

“TRULY UNIQUE”

“The melting of sea ice that we have seen around Antarctica is unprecedented,” said Michael Sparrow, Head of WMO’s Global Climate Research Programme. he made the assessment of it.

Stating that ice melt is generally low in the Antarctic region and large declines are normally seen in North Pole glaciers, Sparrow stressed that they are not used to seeing such declines in Antarctica.

Sparrow warned that the “sea heat wave” will also affect the distribution of fish and ocean ecosystems, noting that this means “not just the temperature of the water surface, but the whole ocean heating up and absorbing energy that will be stored there for hundreds of years.” of years.”

Stating that in the year of El Niño weather conditions, higher temperatures are reached as heat moves from the oceans into the atmosphere, Sparrow said: “Actually, we are at the beginning of this process. El Niño did not have as big of an impact as it would later in the year. So we’re seeing these high temperatures in the North Atlantic, even though El Niño conditions haven’t fully kicked in yet.” He used the phrases.

Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest level, 17 percent below average, breaking June’s previous record by a significant margin.

EL NIÑO EFFECT

In the WMO statement, it was announced that El Niño conditions had started on 4 July.

In the statement, in which it was reported that El Niño will accelerate the increase in global temperature, it was stated that weather conditions in different parts of the world will be affected and that early warning systems are critical for the safety of life.

BROKEN TEMPERATURE RECORD IN CASE OF WEATHER

While average temperatures in the world broke records 3 times in a row in the same week, July 6, when the global average temperature was 17.23 degrees, was recorded as the “hottest day on record.”

With the global average temperature reaching 17.23 degrees, July 6 was recorded as the “hottest day on record,” while the average temperature surpassed the highest average of 17.18 degrees measured on July 4 and 5.

Based on the averaged data set, the average weekly air temperature in Antarctica was recorded to be 4.5 degrees above normal.

Previously, the highest average temperature was measured at 16.9 degrees in 2016. (BRITISH AUTOMOBILE CLUB)
