August 2010: Record hot sunshine

According to John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center (which can be considered the Center for Planetary Research) at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, the average global temperature last August was low. more than the record temperature recorded in August 1998 was 0.02 degrees F (equivalent to 0.01 degrees C). This means that in August 2010, the second hot spot in history was recorded.

However, this very small temperature difference can also be a difference due to the measurement error. Therefore, it can be said that in August, August (August 1998; August 2010) is the hottest months in 32 years.

At this time, the El Nino phenomenon outside the Pacific Ocean is gradually disappearing, giving way to the beginning of the La Nina phenomenon. The weather will start to get cooler.

So with the average heat from the beginning of the year until now and the fact that August is the second hotest in recorded history, 2010 will hold the second hot position in more than 30 years.

The temperature data given is considered to be relatively standard with very small deviations. Because scientists have used satellites to be able to read almost exactly the temperature of all areas on Earth, from desert, ocean to rainforest.

This satellite reads temperature based on a tool that measures the heat of the atmosphere from the ground to an altitude of about 5 miles (equivalent to 8km) above sea level.
