The New York Times says 124 degrees in Sicily is “possibly the highest ever recorded in Europe.”
In 1935 they reported 127F in Spain.

Congressional climate expert Bernie Sanders says July was “the hottest month EVER in the history of the planet”
Satellite temperatures indicate that July was 0.2C above average, and cooler than 2020, 2019, 2016, 2010 and much cooler than 1998.

This is what the current 0.2C anomaly looks like. It is indistinguishable from a 0.0C anomaly.

The vast majority of NOAA’s long-term daily temperature data is from the US and July was a cool month in most of the US.

NOAA has grossly inadequate long-term temperature data outside the US, and they massively tamper with US temperature data to cool the past.
The three hottest Julys in the US were 1936, 1901 and 1934. This si what the New York Times said about the heatwave of 1901
Later in July 1901, the heatwave expanded to Europe
And continued into August.

Same nonsense as 150 years ago.
“every season is sure to be “extraordinary,” almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest or hottest, ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.”
“Hurricane Fifi (later known as Hurricane Orlene) was a cataclysmic tropical cyclone that killed over 8,210 people in Honduras in September 1974, ranking it as the third deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, only behind Hurricane Mitch in 1998, and the 1780 hurricane.”

They erased the 1900 Galveston Hurricane and demoted the 1780 hurricane. The text should read :

Scientific American apparently believes we didn’t used to have droughts before oil companies, and that droughts should be named after them.

“Mega droughts have been verified by science. Carbon dating combined with dendrochronology — the study of tree rings — has determined the Southwest suffered from 14 mega droughts punctured sometimes with a couple years of normal precipitation spanning from 50 to 100 years stretching from 800 to 1600 AD.”
