Last month was the hottest June globally on record, with abnormally high temperatures recorded on both land and sea, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Thursday, , reported from Reuters.

Last month smashed through the previous temperature record for the month of June, which was in 2019, by a substantial margin, Copernicus said.

Globally, June was just over 0.5 C above the average temperature for the same month in 1991–2020, Copernicus said, as climate change pushes global temperatures to new records and short-term weather patterns also drive temperature movements.
