Dallas "Record-setting July 19" at 108 F (Click to see melting crayon art video.)
"Los Angeles set a new all-time high on July 6, when temperatures reached 111 degrees, and cities in Vermont, New Hampshire and Colorado also set new records."
On July 5 Ouargla, Algeria, "with a population of half a million," was 124.3 degrees (and "likely broke the highest ever recorded in Africa, according to the Washington Post.")
"[Japan . . .] logged its highest-ever temperature at
106 degrees Fahrenheit (41.1°C) in Kumagaya, near Tokyo on Monday afternoon [July 23], according to Japan’s Kyodo news agency."
Thanks to Marina Pitofsky, USA TODAY, for these July 25 updates: "In the last 30 days, there have been 3,092 new daily high temperatures, 159 new monthly heat records and 55 all-time highs worldwide, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration." and "In the U.S. alone, there have been 1,542 new daily high temperatures, 85 new monthly heat records and 23 all-time highs during the same period, most of which were recorded in Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana."
The good news is "Ireland [will become] world's first country to divest from fossil fuels."
