epa07742016 A handout photo made available by the European Space Agency (ESA) shows a map generated using the Copernicus Sentinel-3's Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer of an extreme heatwave that hit Europe on 25 July 2019 (issued 26 July 2019). High temperatures on 25 July 2019, reached as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius, with Netherlands, Belgium and Germany recording their highest ever temperatures. Paris reached a sweltering 41-degree Celsius, breaking its previous record in 1947.

July this year was the warmest month ever recorded worldwide, satellite data has confirmed.

BBC reports that the assessment was carried out by researchers at the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Scientists say it’s the latest sign that Earth is experiencing unprecedented warming.

Scorching heatwaves saw records tumble across Europe last month, with unusually high temperatures within the Arctic Circle as well.

Globally, July 2019 was marginally warmer – by 0.04 degrees Celsius (0.072 Fahrenheit) – than the previous hottest month on record, July 2016.
