The effects of climate change are impossible to ignore: June was the hottest month on record so far, as well as the 13th consecutive month with temperatures above average.

also June breaks a sad recordJoining a long series of months with temperatures well above average. We are in the midst of climate change, and it is impossible not to notice the consequences: extreme heat is now a reality on a global scale, and Italy is no exception.hot summer Last year has already seen, in these first weeks of the new season, a repetition that does not promise anything good. Let’s find out what happens.




June was the warmest month on record: a (new) record.

Just one year ago we registered Record warmest June on recordThe global average temperature is 16.52°C. This data, collected from different meteorological systems around the world, allows us to compare the current temperature trend with the pre-industrial trend (i.e. before the 20th century), highlighting an escalation that has become more dramatic in recent years. Unfortunately, June 2024 has proven to be no exception: after beating last year’s record, it has set the sad record for the warmest temperature ever recorded, with Average global temperature 16.66°C.

The record was reported by Copernicus Climate Change Servicethe European Union’s scientific cooperation programme dedicated to Earth observation: There are many indicators that allow us to extract valuable information, including direct measurements from thermometers on land and in the sea and reliable estimates from satellites. Unfortunately, June also turned out to be special for another reason – it is always a negative month. In fact, 13th month in a row Where (again worldwide) we break the monthly heat record.

In particular, last year’s average mercury was 1.64 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average. This is alarming, especially on the basis ofParis Agreement On the climate that has set more than 1.5 degrees Celsius as a critical threshold.




Climate change, a major concern

There has been a lot of talk about it in recent years. Global Warminga trend that is now becoming more evident. We already experienced last summer several intense heat waves that put us to the test, and then continued with a very long autumn and a winter that offered very mild temperatures, to the point of causing various problems for agriculture. According to Copernicus, the situation has also been exacerbated in recent months by the influence of El Niño, an oceanic climate phenomenon that has led to higher temperatures. increase in sea surface temperatures.

The Atlantic current has now given way. No NinaWhich can still affect our climate during the summer. But one of the most serious problems linked to climate change is the increase in extreme phenomena: in recent months Italy has literally been split in two. In the northern regions they continue to alternate Severe storms, hurricanes and floodsWith the dire consequences of this case. On the contrary, southern Italy is suffering from an unprecedented drought, which has already brought many residents to their knees.
