CBS is reporting that on Monday, July 3, 2023, the world experienced its hottest day ever recorded, with an average global temperature reaching 17.01°C.

This surpassed the previous record of 16.92°C set in August 2016 during an El Niño period. The new record aligns with the confirmation of El Niño's return, which significantly contributes to rising global temperatures. The northern hemisphere is currently facing unprecedented heatwaves, further aggravated by human-induced climate change. This extreme heat is not only affecting daily life but also has severe implications for sea ice levels, particularly in Antarctica, where record-low sea ice extent was observed. These events underscore the urgent need to address climate change and mitigate its impacts to prevent further temperature increases and environmental degradation.
