Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLast month was the hottest August in modern history, in the latest sign of an unusually warm year across the world’s land and sea surfaces, US government scientists say Thursday.
Record-breaking warmth was seen across much of South America and parts of Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia, says the report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The most scorching August on the planet in 136 years was also the sixth month this year to have broken a monthly temperature record, putting 2015 on pace to beat 2014 as the warmest year ever, scientists say.
