Scientists Say August Was Hottest Month Ever Recorded Globally

Scientists say that August was the hottest month ever recorded globally, according to a report from NPR News.

The report states that in the United States, summer temperatures also shattered previous heat records, though specific temperature figures and the identities of the scientists or agencies behind the findings were not detailed in the available source material.

NPR did not specify which meteorological or climate organizations conducted the assessment, nor did it provide comparative data against prior record-setting months or years.

Further details on the scope of the data, regional breakdowns, or potential causes were not included in the available reporting. EGazette will provide additional details as more information becomes available.
