July set a rare temperature record during a year that is featuring off the charts warmth. The month was the warmest month of any month recorded since at least 1880, according to NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japan Meteorological Agency. 。
NASA found that July 2016 squeaked past the previous top three record warm months, which were each set since 2008.。

It, along with other recent climate visualizations, clearly shows that 2016 comes after a long period of increasing global temperatures. 。
