CNBC's Sam Meredith is reporting on the record shattering heatwaves. 

On July 21, 2024, the world recorded its hottest day ever, with a global average surface air temperature of 17.09 degrees Celsius (62.76 degrees Fahrenheit). This surpassed the previous record set just a year earlier. The data, provided by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, highlighted that this extreme heat is part of a continuing trend driven by climate change and exacerbated by the El Niño weather phenomenon. The persistent heatwaves affecting the United States, Europe, and Russia underscore the urgent need for addressing the climate crisis as record-breaking temperatures are expected to continue in the coming months and years.
