ISLAMABAD, (APP): Last month was the hottest June
ever recorded worldwide, and the 14th straight month that global
heat records were broken, scientists say.

June last year while land temperatures tied, Private news channel

emissions.

for a number of environmental disasters around the world.

surfaces for June was 0.9 C above the 20th Century average of 15.5
