"highest in recorded history" is quite a misleading statement. What if used daily measurements instead? Maybe the peak would have been some other time. What if you looked at specific places, their peaks would all be at different times, and many would be wildly far from that baseline by tens of degrees C. What if you averaged over a whole year instead of just a month? This peak will surely flatten out if you do that. What if you averaged over several years or any other time period? So it's not as if people haven't experienced this type of climate before. We didn't even know we'd had it until the satellite told us! That's how hard it is to notice. Yet we easily notice the difference in local temperature from day to day because the swings are much more massive.
