July 2019 was Earth's hottest month on record

July 2019 was the Earth's hottest month on record, federal scientists announced Thursday.

The global temperature for July was some 1.71 degrees above average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

Records date back to 1880.

July's heat follows on the heels of what was the hottest June on record.

For the year-to-date, 2019 is tied with 2017 as the second-warmest year on record.

One of the most notable weather headlines around the globe in July was the record-shattering heat wave that spread across Europe late in the month, AccuWeather reported.
