July has been confirmed as the hottest month on record globally after several heatwaves in parts of Europe, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
Temperatures exceeded 40C last week in several countries across Europe including Greece, France, Italy and Spain.
Wildfires forced the evacuation of thousands of residents and tourists from several Greek islands including Rhodes.
Antarctic sea ice has also been at record lows this July, freezing less than in any other winter since satellites began observations in 1979.
Scientists have said that if greenhouse gas emissions are not controlled, extreme weather will increasingly damage Antarctic ecosystems, which would affect the rest of the world.
“Even if this is only temporary, it shows the urgency for ambitious efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main driver behind these records.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:

I’m a bot and I’m open source!
It becomes a record only if it happens in Europe huh, Asia and Africa be damned
China, Turkey, North America, North Africa have all had extreme heat and/or wildfires. So no.
