This week, our meteorologist Tamsin Green spoke to Euronews about how temperatures are recorded and verified around the globe.

With this year's heatwaves in mind, the news media Euronews set out to clarify just how it works when a new potential record ticks in. And our Meteorologist Tamsin Green was happy to help.

The article writes:

"This summer, headlines have been filled with news of record-breaking heatwaves. On 4 and 5 July, the planet saw its hottest day ever.

But have you ever wondered how we actually record these temperatures and verify them as record-breaking?"
