On August 11, local time, World Meteorological Organization spokesman Claire Nallis said that Western Europe experienced the hottest period on record from June to July this year. The global temperature in July was the second highest since records began, while the average temperature of the global ocean surface reached the highest record for the same period. Furthermore, John Kennedy, head of climate information at the World Meteorological Organization, said that as the global climate continues to warm, extreme heat is becoming more frequent, more intense, and longer. The extreme weather in recent months is the result of long-term warming combined with the ongoing alternating pattern of high and low air pressure. There is currently no clear evidence that the high temperatures in Western Europe this summer are related to the El Niño phenomenon. As the El Niño phenomenon continues to develop in the Pacific, the World Meteorological Organization anticipates an upward trend in global temperatures.
