      You’re downvoted because you’re comparing one day record temp to a full month of record highs.

        Also, a large part of the reason the global average temperature is high is because the Southern hemisphere is having a very warm winter.

        Comparing global average to local max temperatures is also wrong.

          Much of eastern North America is having a relatively cool summer thanks to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Temps in my area have barely broken 85F/30C all summer

            Here in Minnesota we’ve gotten plenty of heat, humidity and smoke, which has been just super fun. The entirety of the last month has felt like living in a pack-a-day smoker’s lungs.
