The hottest day on Earth was recorded on July 3, The Hill reported citing the data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
On July 3, the average global air temperature 2 meters above the planet's surface touched 62.62 degrees Fahrenheit or 17.01 degrees Celsius, according to the data analyzed by the University of Maine.
Taking to Twitter, Robert Rohde, of the University of California, Berkeley, on Tuesday (Local time) said, "NCEP (National Centers for Environmental Prediction) has placed Earth's average temperature yesterday as the hottest single day thus far measured by humans. This is driven by the combination of El Nino on top of global warming, and we may well see a few even warmer days over the next 6 weeks." -- ANI
