(Bloomberg) -- Last month wasn’t just the hottest June on record — it continued the longest-ever streak of record-breaking months: 14.
It’s no longer a question of whether 2016 will be the hottest on record, but by how much.
The start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere gave us the hottest June since 1880, according to data released Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That follows the hottest May, April, March, February, January, December, November, October, September, August, and July. Before June 2016, June 2015 held the monthly record, as did May 2015.
