The Earth experienced its hottest recorded day in human history on Sunday, with a global average surface air temperature reaching 17.09°C (62.76°F). This unprecedented temperature, recorded by Copernicus ECMWF, surpasses any recorded in the past 100,000 years or more. The ERA5 Reanalysis, which began in 1940, supports this finding.
