Last month was the hottest June ever recorded, the
EU's satellite agency has announced.
Data provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts on behalf of the EU, showed that the global-average temperature for June 2019 was the highest on record for the month.
The data showed
European-average temperatures for June 2019 were more than 2C above normal and temperatures were 6-10C above normal over most of
France,
Germany and northern
Spain during the final days of the month, according to C3S.
Global-average temperature was about 0.1C higher than during the previous warmest June, in 2016.
Experts have said
climate change made last week's record-breaking European
heatwave at least five times as likely to happen, according to recent analysis.
