Temperatures last month beat the global June average by the greatest amount since records began in 1880, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

It also marked a 14th straight month of record-breaking global temperatures, the longest streak in the NOAA’s 137 years of data keeping.

The June combined average temperature over land and ocean surfaces was 0.9 degrees above the 20th-century average, according to the agency.

Warmer to much-warmer-than-average temperatures dominated across much of the world’s surface during the month.

The largest increases were across north-central Russia, the Russian far east and northern Australia, where temperature deviations were three degrees or higher.

Record high sea surface temperatures were also noted across parts of the central and southwest Pacific Ocean, northwestern and southwestern Atlantic Ocean and parts of the Southern Ocean.

Central and southern South America were the only land areas with cooler-than-average conditions, while no land areas had a record cold June, NOAA says.

The last time global June temperatures were below average was in 1976.
