The beginning of July was the hottest week on record globally, according to early data from the World Meteorological Organization Monday, after a series of scorching days saw global temperature records tumble.

“The world just had the hottest week on record, according to preliminary data,” the WMO said in a statement, after climate change and the early stages of the El Nino weather pattern drove the hottest June on record.
