"The Earth experienced its hottest June and the hottest first half of the year since records began, according to scientists."
"Off-the-charts heat is 'getting to be a monthly thing', said Jessica Blunden, a climate scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. June was the fourth month of 2015 to break a record, she said."
“'There is almost no way that 2015 isn’t going to be the warmest on record.'”
"NOAA calculated that the world’s average temperature in June hit 61.48F (16.33C), breaking the old record set last year by 0.22F (0.12C). Usually temperature records are broken by one or two hundredths of a degree, not nearly a quarter of a degree, Blunden said."
