July 2021 was the third-warmest July on record globally

Subject: Environment

Context: The shattering of climate records continue: July 2021 was the “the third-warmest July on record globally, less than 0.1 degree Celsius cooler than July 2019 and July 2016,” revealed Copernicus earth observation programme of the European Union.

Concept:

According to Copernicus:

  • July is usually the warmest month of the year globally.
  • July 2021 was warmer globally than any previous month in the data record other than July 2019 and July 2016.
  • The month was 0.33°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average for the month
  • Global surface temperature for June 2021 was the fifth-highest in 142 years, according to the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Global Climate Report June 2021. It was 0.88°C above the 20thcentury average

Copernicus

  • Copernicus is the European system for monitoring the Earth and is coordinated and managed by the European Commission.
  • The development of the observation infrastructure is performed under the aegis of the European Space Agency for the space component and by the European Environment Agency and EU countries for the in situ component.
  • It consists of a complex set of systems which collect data from multiple sources: earth observation satellites and in situ sensors such as ground stations, airborne sensors, and sea-borne sensors. It processes this data and provides users with reliable and up-to-date information through a set of services related to environmental and security issues.
  • The services address six thematic areas: land, marine, atmosphere, climate change, emergency management, and security. They support a wide range of applications, including environment protection, management of urban areas, regional and local planning, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, health, transport, climate change, sustainable development, civil protection, and tourism.
