July 2023 marked the hottest month ever recorded in the United States, with an average temperature of 76.89 degrees Fahrenheit across 48 states, surpassing the previous record set in July 1936 during the Dust Bowl. The NOAA reported that every state was nearly one degree warmer than the 20th-century average, with the most extreme heat felt in the western mountains, the Southwest, and the Southeast. Experts attribute this unprecedented heat to climate change, noting that warmer nighttime temperatures are particularly concerning. As climate conditions worsen, scientists warn of serious implications for public health and agriculture.
