"The scary thing is that we are moving into an era where it will be a surprise when each new month or year isn’t one of the hottest on record," said climate scientist Chris Field.
NASA's records, which stretch back to 1880, show that July 2016 has now joined the likes of July 2011, July 2015, July 2009 and August 2014 as one of the five hottest months on record.
"The planet is getting warmer," said NASA chief climate scientist Gavin Schmidt.
"It’s important for what it tells us about the future."
