Scientists mark new record high for June

It was the hottest June ever since record-keeping began in 1880, US climate scientists said in a monthly report on Monday, July 21. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that June registered a combined average temperature over land and ocean surfaces at 61.2°Fahrenheit or 16.22°Celsius. This was .72°C or 1.30°F warmer than the 20th century average for the month. The month of June has been warmer than the 20th century average for 38 years in a row, NOAA said. The last time June broke records for being cooler than normal was in 1976. May was also a record-setter, topping its previous high set in 2010.
