Questions: 1. "In June" or "As of June" really makes a difference. I wouldn't expect record breaking lows northern hemisphere summer, where 2/3rds of the land is. 2. Is it typical to have a record-breaking cold every year? Why is this even notable? I didn't find your source, but NOAA's June '23 climate report says "No state experienced a top-10 coldest June on record for this six-month period," so that's something, but it's just for the US. But it also says it was a pretty mixed bag: "Above-average temperatures were observed across much of the eastern contiguous U.S. and in parts of the Northwest. Near- to below-average temperatures were observed from the northern Plains to the West Coast." https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/monthly-report/national/202306 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/monthly-report/n...
