The European Union's climate observatory, known as Copernicus Climate Change Service, announced on Thursday that August was the hottest month ever recorded globally. This information represents a new milestone in the history of global climate measurements, surpassing all previous temperature records.

The European body also revealed that summer in Western Europe was the hottest ever measured since records began. This finding reinforces the trend of accelerated warming that has been observed in recent years in various regions of the globe.

The data collected by the observatory shows that global temperatures continue to rise significantly, raising growing concerns among the scientific community and European policymakers. The European Union has been emphasizing the urgency of more ambitious climate measures to address this situation.
