    You’re downvoted because you’re comparing one day record temp to a full month of record highs.

      Also, a large part of the reason the global average temperature is high is because the Southern hemisphere is having a very warm winter.

      Comparing global average to local max temperatures is also wrong.

        Much of eastern North America is having a relatively cool summer thanks to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Temps in my area have barely broken 85F/30C all summer
