Antarctic sea ice shrank to a record low for the month<\/h3>\n

June\u2019s average global temperature continued 2022\u2019s remarkably warm trend, as both the month and the year so far ranked sixth warmest on record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In addition, global sea ice reached near-record lows last month, with Antarctica seeing its lowest June ice coverage on record, according to scientists from NOAA\u2019s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a closer look into NOAA\u2019s latest monthly global climate report:<\/p>\n

Climate by the numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The average global surface (land and ocean) temperature in June was 1.57 degrees F (0.87 of a degree C) above the 20th-century average of 59.9 degrees F (15.5 degrees C), making June the sixth warmest in the 143-year record.<\/p>\n

June 2022 marked the 46th consecutive June and the 450th consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th-century average. The ten-warmest Junes on record have all occurred since 2010.<\/p>\n

Looking at just land temperature, June 2022 was the Northern Hemisphere\u2019s second-warmest June on record \u2014 2.81 degrees F (1.56 degrees C) above average \u2014 behind June 2021\u2019s record high land temperature. Europe and Asia also had their second-warmest June land temperature on record.<\/p>\n

The year to date | January through June<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first half of 2022 ranked sixth warmest on record, with a global temperature of 1.53 degrees F (0.85 of a degree C) above the 20th-century average of 56.3 degrees F (13.5 degrees C).<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0NCEI\u2019s Global Annual Temperature Outlook<\/a>, there is a greater than 99% chance that 2022 will rank among the 10-warmest years on record, but only an 11% chance that it will rank among the top five warmest.<\/p>\n

Other notable climate events for June<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polar ice coverage hit near-record low:<\/strong>\u00a0Globally, June 2022 saw the second-lowest June sea ice coverage (extent) on record. Only June 2019 had a smaller sea ice extent. Antarctic sea ice extent for June was a record low at 4.68 million square miles, or about 471,000 square miles below average. Arctic sea ice extent last month was 347,000 square miles below the 1981-2010 average \u2014 roughly the size of Sweden, Norway and Denmark combined \u2014 and the 10th-smallest June extent in the 44-year record.<\/p>\n

Tropical cyclone activity was about average:<\/strong> June 2022 produced five named storms across the globe, which is near-normal activity for June. Only one of those, Hurricane Blas in the Eastern Pacific, reached tropical cyclone strength (74 mph). Although June\u2019s Tropical Storm Alex was only a tropical storm for approximately 30 hours, it was the Atlantic\u2019s first named storm of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
