August Shattered Global Heat Records | Dallas News

August shattered global temperature records, becoming the hottest month ever recorded—with average daily highs nearing 90°F.

The U.S. summer was hotter than the Dust Bowl’s peak in 1936, and experts warn 2026 could be the warmest year on record—with 2027 possibly even hotter. Eight of the ten hottest months have occurred since July 2023, making it clear: the planet is warming fast, and we’re only seeing the beginning.
