happening. i can tell you this july will be the warmest july recorded on the globe, and next year will be the hottest year recorded on planet. most records go back to 1940. why do i know that? we have a strong el nino developing. right now with our oceans, we have the warmest we ve ever measured as far as the globe, 70% of our globe is covered by water. water absorbs heat really well. so we ve obviously been warming our climate, us humans because of greenhouse gases and 90% of the heat is trapped in our oceanings and right now, the atlantic ocean is the warmest we have seen it recorded. colorado state came up with the hurricane forecast saying they have increased it. the water is so warm. that s the fuel for the hurricanes. the el nino, the dark red off the coast of south america, that s getting stronger. the oceans are as warm this has they have been, a lot of land, it s no shock that we re getting one day after another that s warmer than the next. this will go on for the next
three or four weeks, and hit our peak at the end of july or early august. the old record was in 2016. it took seven years to break the daily record temperature of globe because that was the last strong el nino. el nino is a much stronger, and la nina, a much stronger influence influence on climate than what we have done as a planet. once we get to el nino, you super charge that with climate change and that s when you get the warmest. all these little lines are every year since 1940. this is where we just hit. you can see that big jump here in the last couple days. this is the old record. we could easily see maybe 10, 20 more times if we break the record. the other thing is that june was the warmest june on record. everywhere you see the dark red is where we measured the warmest june. the lower 48 of the united states, we actually had a relatively cool june compared to the rest of the globe and compared to other years. just because it happens in your
it really wasn t here about four or five weeks ago. back you up two weeks, these extreme areas here across parts of massachusetts and rhode island were not here. but it just hasn t rained at all. so now all of a sudden, all of massachusetts in a drought, first time in seven years. all of rhode island in extreme drought, connecticut, you have long island, even parts of upstate new york in on this act too. now back out to the west. here s where we had some improvement. colorado, utah, parts of nevada and arizona. it has rained. it hasn t been widespread, but there have been rains. texas got worse. it has not rained. it may rain this weekend and a lot in some spots but not lately and back out to california. i take you back two weeks, a lot worse in some spots. watch nevada, watch north of vegas go from the dark red to only red. that s some good news, but you re still in a major drought. every thursday at 7:30 central time, at from the university of member member, here, and also
and lane departure warning. that s why our recalibration service is state of the art. we recalibrate your vehicle s camera, so you can still count on those safety features. all right, we re all finished. customer: thank you so much. tech: thank you. don t wait schedule now. singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. that welt ring heat is back again. more than 75 million americans are l. experience extremely high temperatures and humidity today. let s go now to chad myers in the weather center to take a look at this. that map is something, chad. look at that thing. it really is. the color behind me is the temperature above 90, the dark red here. all across the midwest and even
country, tom. it is, john, absolutely a crisis being driven by political leaders who won t grapple with the truth and people who in turn simply will not get vaccinated. that s the reason this is happening. look at icu bed utilization by state. as reported by the hospitals here, health and human services. all of these in red down here, the dark red, they re over 90%. the lighter red, they re right behind them. that s how much has been used up in these areas. covid beds, look at this, every place that you see in dark red here is over 25% of the icu beds being used are being used for covid patients. over 25%. so it could be 26%. it could be 80%. it could be 90%. and look where it s really clustered right down in here. florida, texas, louisiana, alabama, a lot of states that have had a lot of, a lot of loud, loud, loud talk from leaders saying we re not going to let our freedoms be
