"The July 2018 average temperature across the world's land and ocean surfaces was 0.75°C (1.35°F) above the 20th century average of 15.8°C (60.4°F) and the fourth highest for July since global records began in 1880. Nine of the ten warmest Julys have occurred since 2005, with the last four years (2015–2018) among the four warmest on record."
"Europe's July 2018 temperature departure from average of +2.33°C (+4.19°F) was the second highest July temperature since continental records began in 1910, trailing behind 2010 by only 0.01°C (0.02°F). July 2018 marks the third time in the 109-year record that the European July temperature departure from average was 2.0°C (3.6°F) or higher."
"The first seven months of the year were characterized by warmer to much-warmer-than-average conditions across much of the globe, with record warm temperatures scattered across all oceans and across most continents. Averaged as a whole, the January–July 2018 global temperature departure from average of +0.77°C (+1.39°F) was the fourth highest temperature for such period in the 139-year record, trailing behind 2016 (+1.04°C / +1.87°F), 2017 (+0.89°C / +1.60°F), and 2015 (+0.85°C/ +1.53°F)."
