Earlier this week NOAA released their monthly climate summary for the globe for August 2024. It showed that this was the 15th month in a row that set a record high temperature for the globe in 175 years of data. It was also the 2nd lowest area of Antarctic sea ice. Nearly all of the globe was ranked as much warmer than average, with just a few spots below average.
