I wonder where they are taking this information from. This seems to be the cited European Union's climate change monitoring service, but there is no such news item from July 8.

I can definitely say that this June was much colder than usual here in the north of Spain Spain. Lots of rain and low temperatures, it seems that summer is starting 1-2 months later than usual (similar to last year).

Every month since June 2023 – 13 months in a row – has ranked as the planet’s hottest since records began, compared with the corresponding month in previous years, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said in a monthly bulletin.

From the second line of the article. Here's the monthly bulletin they're talking about.

Keep in mind that this is the global average temperature, there could be some places (like Northern Spain) that experienced lower temperatures.

It's definitely been awful in the Eastern US so I believe it. The heat index in my house has been over 100 F almost every day for most of the past month or so
