Heavy rain in several areas of north India has caused rivers to reach the danger mark and flooding has occured in various places. Last month was the hottest August on record for global average temperatures over land and ocean surfaces, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said on September 18, 2014. If the trend continues, 2014 could set records for planet-wide heat, raising fresh alarm at the pace of global warming and the burning of fossil fuels. The month's temperature was 1.35 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average, the agency said in its monthly climate report. "It was the largest departure from average of any month on record," said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA, noting that record-keeping began in 1880. The month's average land and ocean surface temperature was 61.45 Fahrenheit (16.35 Celsius). The 20th century average for August is 60.1°F (15.6°C). AFP PHOTO/SANJAY KANOJIA/FILES
