July 2023 will probably be the world's hottest month in 'hundreds, if not thousands, of years,' top NASA climatologist Gavin Schmidt says and anticipates '2024 will be an even warmer year'

This month has already seen daily records shattered according to tools run by the European Union and the University of Maine, which combine ground and satellite data into models to generate preliminary estimates. "We are seeing unprecedented changes all over the world — the heatwaves that we're seeing in the US, in Europe and in China are demolishing records, left, right and centre," he added.
Though El Nino is playing a small role,"what we're seeing is the overall warmth, pretty much everywhere, particularly in the oceans. We've been seeing record-breaking sea surface temperatures, even outside of the tropics, for many months now."
