It has been announced by federal scientists that this year's July was the hottest month on Earth since record of modern temperatures in 1880. This announcement points to a notable sign of growing effect of climate change.

According to a report released on Thursday, climate change is not leading to California's drought; however, it is making the disaster even worse. It has been found in the study by researchers at Columbia University, NASA and the University of Idaho that over the four years, hottest temperatures of drought have led to more loss of water supplies. It made California's drought nearly 15 to 20% worse than it would be in other ways.

Reports say there's no indication that the heat is decreasing. Federal researchers said that El Niño conditions are in progress in the Pacific and will keep on heating the oceans and liberate huge amounts of heat into the atmosphere this year, most likely making this year the warmest year ever recorded. The temperature could break the earlier record that was set in 2014.

According to Jake Crouch, a physical scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Asheville, North Carolina, "The world is warming. It's continuing to warm. That's being shown time and time again in our data".

It has been announced by Crouch and other researchers at NOAA, which is the parent agency of the National Weather Service, that the average land and sea temperature last month was 61.86 degrees Fahrenheit.
