Global temperatures seen in June were the hottest on record, according to a NOAA report, with the global land and ocean surface reaching 33.3 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average of 59.9 degrees.
Data from the NOAA found that global land surface temperature was 33.7 degrees above average, while the ocean was 33.15 degrees above average - the highest for June on record since 1880, and the highest departure from average for any month.
"The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June 2014 was record high for the month at 61.2 F, or 1.3 F above the 20th century average," the NOAA said in a statement.
It was a hot summer for most of the world, with record warmth across portions of southeastern Greenland, parts of northern South America, areas in eastern and central Africa, and sections of southern and southeastern Asia.
And it appears that these sweltering summers are likely to continue. Nine of the 10 warmest Junes on record have all occurred during the 21st century, including each of the past five years.
The administration also noted that the last below average global temperature for June was in 1976.
Though, some lucky few experienced cooler temperatures. Certain areas in North America, Far East Russia, and small parts of central and northeastern Europe were cooler or much cooler than average.
Overall, the report shows that temperatures are heating up. For example, Kangerlussuaq in southwestern Greenland saw its record highest maximum June temperature of 73.8 degrees on June 15. That surpasses the previous record of 73.6 degrees set in both 1988 and 2002. This could also be concerning for the nation, considering that rising temperatures as a result of climate change are melting Greenland glaciers, threatening to raise sea levels.
Predicting how these rising temperatures will affect the coming months, the NOAA says that there is now a 70 percent chance of El Nino conditions developing in the northern hemisphere this summer, with an 80 percent chance it will develop in the autumn or winter.
University of Arizona climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck told CBS News: "This is what global warming looks like. Not record hot everywhere all the time, but certainly a reflection that the odds of record hot are going up everywhere around the planet."
