The WMO explained through a statement that the last month was a little colder than July 2019 but warmer than the same month in 2016.
The temperature recorded in the last month exceeded that recorded in July during the reference period 1991-2020 by 0.4°C.
The organism invited world leaders to “wake up” to heat waves like the one Europe is currently experiencing, which are expected to become more frequent due to climate change at least until the next 2060s.
According to World Meteorological OrganizationJuly 2022 fell short of the top of the podium as some regions of the world saw below-average temperatures across the western Indian Ocean, from the Horn of Africa south from India, across much of Asia Central, as well as in most of Australia.
In addition, some regions suffer severe droughts. According to the WMO, this past July was drier than average for much of Europemost North America, much of South America, Central Asia Y Australia.
In contrast, wetter-than-average conditions were recorded in eastern Russia, northern China, and a wide swath stretching from eastern Africa to northwestern India through Asia.
Heat waves would last until 2026
The WMO also warned that the heat waves in Europe will become more frequent and will continue “at least until 2060”regardless of whether or not it is successful in mitigating climate change.
