What's the hottest Earth's ever been? One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Another “warm age” is a period geologists call the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred about 56 million years ago. Cartoon by Emily Greenhalgh, NOAA Climate.gov.

Chilling chart reveals how much the Earth has warmed since 1880 as global temperatures continue to rise Global highlights: July 2016. The July temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 1.57°F above the 20th century average of 60.4°F. This was the highest for July in the 1880–2016 record, surpassing the previous record set in 2015 by 0.11°F, the previous record holder for the warmest month on record.

Hottest Temperature Ever Recorded Turns 100 (INFOGRAPHIC) Hottest Temperature Ever Recorded Turns 100 (INFOGRAPHIC) July 10 marks the 100th anniversary of the hottest temperature ever recorded on the surface of the earth. It reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit at Furnace Creek, Calif. on July 10, 1913 inside the present-day Death Valley National Park. The record was previously held by El Azizia, Libya, where a temperature of 136.4 F was recorded on September 13, 1922.

July âWarmest on Recordâ Lie Debunked by NASA Data “As July is climatologically the warmest month for the year, this was also the all-time highest monthly temperature in the 1880–2015 record, at 61.86°F (16.61°C), surpassing the previous record set in 1998 by 0.14°F (0.08°C).” It also claimed that land surface temperatures in July were the sixth highest on record, and that much of the alleged record ...

- The surface temperature data gathered by Mitchell seemed to agree; the record showed that Earth experienced a period of cooling (by about 0.3°C) from 1940 through 1970. Of course, Mitchell was only collecting data over a fraction of the Northern Hemisphere—from 20 to 90 degrees North latitude. Still, the result drew public attention and a number of speculative articles about Earth’s coming ice age appeared in newspapers and magazines. But other scientists forecasted global warming.

+40C for first time this year and 120-year record broken The communities of Osoyoos and Warfield were the first in Canada to creep past the 40oC mark this year on June 27. Aggazis, B.C., had its hottest June 27 in 120 years, since 1895. Some communities not only had their warmest June 27 on record, they also had their warmest-ever record for any day in June, period. The least-hot record on Saturday's list is from the Mackenzie area, at 28.4oC. Record high temperatures were also set in portions of Alberta Saturday.

What's the hottest Earth's ever been? Even after those first scorching millennia, however, the planet has sometimes been much warmer than it is now. One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Another “warm age” is a period geologists call the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred about 56 million years ago. Cartoon by Emily Greenhalgh, NOAA Climate.gov.

- Climate: 2009 Caps Hottest Decade on Record. The current decade likely ranks as the hottest since temperature records began in the 1850s, the U.N. World Meteorological Organization announced today. 2009 may rank as the fifth-warmest year on record, the WMO said, although the final rank won't be available until next year. 1998 holds the rank as the hottest year.

Earth Records Its Warmest Winter on Record For the United States alone, winter 2014-15 was the 19th warmest on record. (MORE: U.S. Winter Recap) The Southern Hemisphere also saw warmer-than-average temperatures for this period, which constitutes the summer months there. Overall, the December-February period ranked as the fourth warmest on record for all land and ocean areas. Australia recorded its fifth warmest summer on record.

NOAA: 2014 is shaping up as hottest year on record But NOAA says, despite the early bitter cold across parts of the United States in recent weeks, it's been a hot year so far for the Earth. With two months left on the calendar, 2014 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record. The average global temperature between January and October has been 0.68 degrees Celsius (1.22 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the 20th century's average global temperature of 14.1 C (57.4 F).

Kuwait swelters in 54C heat â what could be the highest temperature ever recorded on earth On Thursday a blistering temperature of 54C (129.3F) was recorded in Kuwait, firmly putting our hot spell into context. It is the highest temperature ever recorded in the eastern hemisphere and almost certainly the highest temperature ever recorded on earth. A weather station in Mitribah, a remote featureless area of north-west Kuwait, took the temperature last week during an intense heatwave that continues in parts of the Middle East.

NASA, NOAA data show 2016 warmest year on record globally For example, both NASA and NOAA found the 2016 annual mean temperature for the contiguous 48 United States was the second warmest on record. In contrast, the Arctic experienced its warmest year ever, consistent with record low sea ice found in that region for most of the year. The planet's long-term warming trend is seen in this chart of every year's annual temperature cycle from 1880 to the present, compared to the average temperature from 1880 to 2015.

10 Warmest Years on Record Globally With 2014 in the record books, this means that 13 of the 15 hottest years on record have all occurred since 2000. Also, this marks the 38th consecutive year with global temperatures above average. In comparison, the last time we set a global record cold temperature for the year was way back in 1911.
