World set for hottest July measured: EU monitor to AFP

The world is on track for its hottest July since measurements began, the European Union's climate observatory told AFP Wednesday, as prolonged heatwaves worsened by climate change roasted three continents.

"The first 15 days of July have been the warmest 15 days on record... July is on track to be the warmest July on record," said Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service.

"Climate change is warming up the entire climate system. And this year in particular, on top of this trend we have two phenomena that are likely to play a role," he said: El Nino and unusually high ocean temperatures linked to weaker than normal winds. As well as withering crops, melting glaciers and raising the risk of wildfires, higher-than-normal temperatures cause health problems ranging from heatstroke and dehydration to cardiovascular stress.
