Globally averaged temperatures over ocean and land surfaces between January and June of 2015 were the hottest on record since 1880, the United Nations World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported yesterday.
Over the past six months, the average temperature was 0.85 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average of 15.5 degrees Celsius, WMO spokesperson Clare Nullis told a press briefing in Geneva.
She added that the major concern was about the ocean heat that was constantly rising, according to the figures provided by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
