July 2025: Third-Warmest July, Extreme Heat Persists
July 2025 was the third warmest July ever recorded, although slightly cooler than the previous two years.
The Earth's average surface temperature was 1.25 degrees Celsius higher than before humans started burning fossil fuels.
Turkey experienced a record high temperature of 50.5 degrees Celsius during the month.
The period from August 2024 to July 2025 was even warmer, exceeding a key climate limit.
Scientists say this is due to greenhouse gases released from burning fossil fuels and warn that extreme weather will continue unless emissions are reduced.
July 2025 was the third-warmest on record.
The average global surface temperature was 1.25 C above pre-industrial levels.
Turkey recorded its highest-ever temperature of 50.5 C on July 25th.
The 12-month period from August 2024 to July 2025 was 1.53 C above pre-industrial levels.
Scientists note that extreme weather events are likely to continue due to long-term warming.
