A monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists of NASA, the space agency of the United States, showed that July 2016 was the month more hot since 1880. This year may be the hottest in history.

“it was not by a wide margin, but July 2016 was the hottest month since records began to be made in 1880″ said Gavin Schmidt, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (Giss), NASA.

“it seems almost a certainty that 2016 will also be the hottest year on record,” said the director in a statement released by the agency space.

according to NASA, the record of modern global temperature starts around 1880 because previous observations not sufficiently covered the planet.

the analysis made monthly by staff the Giss is made from data acquired for about 6,300 weather stations around the world, naval instruments and measuring buoys sea surface temperature and Antarctic research stations.

the figures, released by NASA, follow a trend of monthly maximum recorded for the tenth month row since October 2015. “compared to previous years, warmer global temperatures last month were more pronounced in the northern hemisphere, especially near the Arctic region,” the statement said.

in Portugal , July this year had already been registered as the second hottest month since 1931, according to the Climatological Bulletin Sea Portuguese Institute and the atmosphere. The average maximum air temperature last month was 32.19 ° C.

Also in July, the maximum and minimum temperatures were much higher than normal.
