He said that unless we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, the temperature will continue to rise like this. He told that the average temperature of July should remain 16 degree Celsius but this year it has increased to 17 degree Celsius.

What did the United Nations say?
The United Nations World Meteorological Organization said on Thursday that it is too early to call July the hottest month yet. Now we will wait for the final data to be available.
