A recent report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has revealed that the average temperature around the globe during the first six months of 2015 was 1.58°F (88°C) higher than the average temperature of the 20th century.

The announcement made by NOAA not only showed that 2015's record temperature surpassed all the high temperature records, but also told that the record highs occurred on both land and in oceans.

Scientists noted that in June earth's temperature was far warmer than average with the exception of the area in the Atlantic Ocean between Greenland and the United Kingdom.

Record warmth in areas of Pacific along the ocean, in addition to other areas was noted by the scientists.

June 2015 was the hottest June in the 136 years of records, and is the fourth month this year with record-breaking temperatures.

NOAA stated that the climate phenomenon El Niño, which began earlier this year, is expected to last into spring 2016. El Niño typically brings an onslaught of rain and raises global temperatures. El Niño in 2010 led to a warmer start of the year, but it cooled in the second half of the year.

El Niño was first observed and named by fishers off the Pacific coast of South America, who found the water was too warm for good fishing around Christmastime some years. Since the Pacific Ocean is a huge reservoir of water, its temperature variations can affect the climate around the world, said experts.

Heat waves in India and Pakistan this year killed more than 2, 000 and nearly 1, 200, respectively.
