July was the Earth's third-warmest on record, EU scientists say.
Despite a somewhat cooler July, the Copernicus Climate Change Service found that the 12-month period between August 2024 and July 2025 was 1.53 degrees above pre-industrial levels, exceeding the threshold set in 2015 to limit human-caused warming to 1.5 degrees.
Der Juli 2025 war weltweit der drittwärmste seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen.
Die globale Durchschnittstemperatur lag 0,45 °C über dem Juli-Mittel von 1991–2020 und 1,25 °C über dem vorindustriellen Niveau.
Damit blieb der Monat knapp unter der 1,5-Grad-Schwelle. Im 12-Monats-Zeitraum August 2024 bis Juli 2025 lag die globale Temperatur im Schnitt bereits 1,53 °C darüber.

#Westeuropa erlebte im Juni 2025 den wärmsten Juni seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen.
Die Durchschnittstemperatur lag 2,81 °C über dem Mittel von 1991–2020.
#Hitzeperioden prägten den Monat in weiten Teilen Europas. EU-Daten zeigen auch global überdurchschnittliche Temperaturen, was den Juni weltweit zum drittwärmsten seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen macht.

June 2025 highlights:
June 2025 was the third-warmest June globally, with an average ERA5 surface air temperature of 16.46°C, 0.47°C above the 1991-2020 average for June.
June 2025 was 1.30°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average used to define the pre-industrial level. It was only the third month in the last 24 with a global temperature less than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.
The average temperature over European land for June 2025 was 18.46°C, 1.10°C above the 1991-2020 average for June, making the month the fifth-warmest June in the record.
The average sea surface temperature (SST) for June 2025 over 60°S–60°N was 20.72°C, the third-highest value on record for the month, 0.13°C below the June 2024 record.
Arctic sea ice extent was 6% below average, the second lowest monthly extent for June in the 47-year satellite record. During the latter part of the month, the daily extent was consistently the lowest for the time of year.
In June 2025, it was drier than average in western and southern Europe, as well as much of the UK and regions of southern Scandinavia, and parts of western Russia.
Heißester jemals gemessener Juni in Westeuropa
Zwei Hitzewellen sorgten im vergangenen Monat für außergewöhnlich hohe Temperaturen. Und machten den Juni 2025 zum heißesten in Westeuropa seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen. Von Hitzewellen war auch das Meer betroffen.

#Switzerland’s ebbing #glaciers show a new, strange phenomenon: holes reminiscent of Swiss cheese
The European Union’s #Copernicus climate center said last month was the second-warmest May on record worldwide, although temperatures in Europe were below the running average for that month compared to the average from 1991 to 2020.

Excerpt: " 'This is a situation we are seeing more and more often on our glaciers: That the ice is just not dynamic anymore,' he said. 'It’s just resting there and melting down in place.'
"This lack of dynamic regeneration is the most likely process behind the emergence and persistence of holes, seemingly caused by water turbulence at the bottom of the glacier or air flows through the gaps that appear inside the blocks of ice, Huss said.
" 'First the holes appear in the middle, and then they grow and grow, and suddenly the roof of these holes is starting to #collapse,' he said. 'Then these holes get visible from the surface. These holes weren’t known so well a few years ago, but now we are seeing them more often.'
"Such an affected glacier, he said, 'is a Swiss cheese that is getting more holes everywhere, and these holes are collapsing — and it’s not good for the glacier.' "
#CCLS2025 kicks off in just one week! 
One of the highlights of the social program is our conference dinner in the Stuba Communis, the medieval dining hall of Jagiellonian University, which is now part of its museum.
Yes, Copernicus likely dined there too.

From Vienna to the world: launch of citizen science campaign to measure #trees and map carbon
On 23 June 2025, #IIASA will launch the global #CitizenScience “Tree-Quest” campaign at the Living Planet Symposium in #Vienna, inviting people from all over the world to take part using the free #GeoQuest app. As part of the Citizens for #Copernicus project, IIASA researchers will also lead hands-on workshops with schoolchildren at the symposium, teaching them how to use the app and collect ground data that will help scientists map the #carbon stored in trees with #satellite data more accurately.

Smoke from intense Canadian wildfires reaches Europe.
About 200 fires are actively burning in Canada and have consumed about 19,900 square kilometres of terrain, most of it in the last week.
The EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) said this week that smoke from wildfires in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan had even been transported across the Atlantic, reaching Europe.
