Heat Wave: July broke the record of 143 years, the hottest month since 1880; NASA warned

Explain that one of the reasons for the increase in temperature was the sea surface temperature. NASA has said in its analysis that warm sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific began to rise in May 2023, which is the effect of El Nino.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the data reflected what billions of people around the world really felt. The temperature in July 2023 broke all records making it the hottest month ever. Americans are clearly feeling the effects of the climate crisis.

According to the report, parts of South America, North Africa, North America, and the Antarctic Peninsula were particularly warm, with temperatures rising nearly 4 degrees Celsius above average. In total, this extreme heat affected millions of people, causing illness and death in the hundreds.

NASA scientist Katherine Calvin said climate change is taking its toll on people and ecosystems around the world. Gavin Schmidt, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), said July 2023 was the warmest month recorded since 1880.
