Earth set a new heat record in June, just a month after breaking the record in May, according to CBS News.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced this week that June's average global temperature was 61.2 degrees, which is about 1.3 degrees higher than the 20th century average.
The temperature beat 2010's record by approximately one-twentieth of a degree.
Though one-twentieth of a degree doesn't seem like much, in temperature records, it's like a horse winning a race by several lengths, according to NOAA climate monitoring chief Derek Arndt.
The world's oceans also broke a monthly heat record at 62.7 degrees, according to Arndt.
"We are living in the steroid era of the climate system," Arndt said, according to CBS News.
The June and May records were both driven by unusually hot oceans, specifically Indian and Pacific oceans.
Heat records in June broke on almost every continent, especially in northern Southern America, Greenland, southern Asia, central Africa, New Zealand, and Greenland.
The only continent that didn't was Antarctica, according to Arndt.
The record might come as a surprise to some in the U.S., mainly those who are experiencing temperatures just slightly above average last month. The U.S. recorded its 33rd hottest June ever, according to NOAA.
The world's monthly heat records have all been set after 1997.
The first six months of the year are the third warmest first six months on record, falling just behind 2010 and 1998, according to NOAA.
Global temperature records go back to 1880 and this is the 352 and hotter than average month in a row.
"This is what global warming looks like," said University of Arizona climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck in an email, according to CBS News. "Not record hot everywhere all the time, but certainly a reflection that the odds of record hot are going up everywhere around the planet."
