Much of the information in this report comes from the monthly emails I receive from John Bateman. He does public outreach for NOAA and in particular NCEI. I could find the same information and more on the NCEI website but John Bateman produces a good summary so I use it or most of it. I also add additional information from NCEI or other NOAA websites. At the end of the article, I provide links that will get you to the full reports and much additional information.
I do not yet have John Bateman’s report for July so I extracted the information directly from the NOAA sources.

I start with the trends of July, 2024 Temperature looking at North America and then the World both land and water. There is a graphic for just CONUS but the format is different and it is not as easy to read.
| This is the temperature trend for North America. It covers a larger geographical area than just CONUS but I find it easier to read. It almost looks like the temperature has plateaued. |
| The temperature for the world, land and ocean hit a new record. |
| The temperature for the world, (land only) hit a new record. Notice that land temperatures increase faster than land and ocean as water takes more energy. |
