This was the hottest summer ever recorded. Ba é seo an samhradh ba theo a taifeadadh riamh. The European Union's climate monitoring service has reported that this is the hottest summer on record in Europe. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag seirbhís monatóireachta aeráide an Aontais Eorpaigh gurbh é seo an samhradh ba theo a taifeadadh riamh san Eoraip. According to the service the average surface temperature of the air between June and August this year was almost a degree higher than the average temperature between the years 1991-2020. Dar leis an tseirbhís go raibh meánteocht dromchla an aeir idir an Meitheamh agus Lúnasa i mbliana beagnach céim níos airde ná an mheánteocht idir na blianta 1991-2020. The summers of 2010 and 2018 were the hottest previously recorded. Ba iad samhraí na mblianta 2010 agus 2018 na cinn ba theo a taifeadadh roimhe seo. Those two summers were 0.1 degrees cooler than last summer. Bhí an dá shamhradh sin 0.1 céim níos fionnuaire ná an samhradh atá díreach caite. The records of the climate monitoring service date back to the fifties of the last century but meteorologists can cross - reference their information to other records dating back to the mid - nineteenth century. Téann taifid na seirbhíse monatóireachta aeráide siar go dtí caogaidí an chéid seo caite ach is féidir le meitéareolaithe an fhaisnéis atá acu a chrostagairt do thaifid eile a théann siar go dtí lár an naoú ceád déag. The latest figures are in line with what is already known about global warming and the effect of gas emissions. Tá na figiúirí is deireanaí ag teacht lena bhfuil ar eolas cheana féin faoi théamh na cruinne agus éifeacht astaíochtaí gás. They leave the targets of the Paris climate agreement, signed in 2015, unfulfilled. Fágann siad go bhfuil spriocanna chomhaontú aeráide Pháras, a síníodh in 2015, gan chomhlíonadh. Under that agreement, 200 countries must work together to bring global temperatures down by 1.5 degrees. De réir an chomhaontaithe sin, ní foláir do 200 tír obair as lámha a chéile le teocht an domhain a ísliú 1.5 céim.
