All-Time Temp Records Set Or Tied Thru N. Hemisphere; Montreal-97.9; Belfast-85.1; Yerevan-107.6
Our thought bubble, from Axios Science Editor Andrew Freedman: "July is typically Earth’s hottest month, so heat records falling now is not unexpected. But so many rare milestones being set or tied worldwide does point to the influence of a warming world, given that the link between heat waves and climate change is robust, according to scientific studies."
Hottest recorded temperatures:
Yerevan, Armenia: 107.6°, July 2 (tied its previous record high)
Denver, Colorado: 105°, June 28 (tied its previous record high
Montreal, Canada: 97.9° Fahrenheit, July 2. The heat is being blamed for 16 deaths in southern Quebec, the CBC reports.
Scotland: 91.7°, June 28 (provisional record)
