The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says the world's leading weather stations confirm the Earth has just had the warmest June on record, since record keeping began in 1880.

The WMO reported more than 90% of the excess energy from increased concentrations of greenhouse gases goes into the ocean.

The WMO said the extreme heat is caused by “an atmospheric blocking pattern,” which has led to a “heat dome” — a large area of high pressure — trapped by low pressure on either side.

Meteorologists say nine of the 10 warmest Junes on record have occurred since 2010. The 10th record-holder was in June 1998. WMO says last month's record-breaking temperatures were felt across the globe. It says no land or ocean areas have recorded cold temperatures in June.
