Data indicates a mean surface air temperature of 16.96 ºC, marking a significant milestone in historical climate records. Additionally, Western Europe experienced its warmest summer on record during this same period.
Experts attribute these record-breaking temperatures to the combined influence of human-induced climate change and the impact of an intensified El Niño phenomenon.
