Monday was the hottest day on record following a record-breaking Sunday, according to preliminary data from the European Union's monitoring agency.
The world's average surface air temperature reached 17.15C (62.87F) on Monday, inching past the new record that had just been set on Sunday of 17.09C - a difference of 0.06C.
The preliminary data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service makes Monday the hottest day on record since 1940.
