NOAA reports June as hottest month globally on record

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported Monday that June has broken all the records for the hottest months. To make it worse, 2015 appears all set to become the hottest year due to El Nino and climate change.

The federal agency claimed that the past 12 months are also the hottest on record that began 136 years ago.

State of the Climate, published by the federal agency last week, provided significant insight into seal level rise and increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The NOAA said that some of the hottest months on record have come from the first half of 2015.

"Scientists can't say for sure what will be happening in the remaining six months of 2015, but right now the evidence suggests El Niño will last until spring and will likely strengthen in the coming months, making it a good bet that the globe will see more top warm months", said NOAA.

The latest data from NOAA has made it clear that the title of being the hottest month has been snatched by June this year from June of last year.

Researchers pointed to a Climate Central analysis which showed that 13 of the 15 warmest years have occurred since 2000. The chances of that happening without the rise in global warming was 1 in 27 million, said researchers.

Compared to previous record for the first half of 2010, the first half of 2015 is already 0.16°F warmer. If the current El Nino trend goes unabated then there is no doubt that 2015 will surpass 2014 as the warmest year on record.
