Washington, Shawwal 14, 1437, July 19, 2016, SPA -- Last month was the warmest June since records by the US climate agency began in 1880, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Tuesday, according to dpa. The average temperature over land and oceans was 0.90 degrees Celsius above the 20th-century average of 15.5 degrees, according to the agency's report for last month. June 2016 was 0.02 degrees warmer than the record for the month recorded last year. June marks the 14th consecutive month a global temperature record has been broken, NOAA said, continuing the longest such streak in NOAA's 137 years of record keeping.
