Earth’s temperature is on a constant rise. And while many are trying their best to contain this, it seems to be slipping out of our hands. And now, researchers have discovered that Earth had the hottest January ever recorded. Reported first by the Guardian, the temperature spike was on record over land as well as ocean surfaces exceeding 141 years of data collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.



January 2019 has been recorded as the second hottest year for Earth’s surface. Moreover, the last five years and the last decade show the steady rise in temperatures -- being the hottest in 150 years since the authorities started managing records.

According to data gathered by NOAA, on average, global land and ocean surface temperature in January 2020 was 1.14 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperatures seen in 20th century. Last month’s records have surpassed the last recorded hottest January in the year 2016.

Regions like Eastern Canada, Russia, Scandinavia are seeing a spike in temperatures of 5 degrees Celsius above average, in some cases even higher than that. The Swedish town of Örebro went all the way up to 10.3 degrees Celsius -- its hottest January since 1858. On the other hand, Boston too experienced its hottest January day, at 23 degrees Celsius.
