Monday Was Hottest Recorded Day on Earth: 'Uncharted Territory' 136
World temperature reached the hottest levels ever measured on Monday, beating the record that was set just one day before, data suggests. From a report: Provisional data published on Wednesday by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which holds data that stretches back to 1940, shows that the global surface air temperature reached 62.87F (17.15C), compared with 62.76F (17.09C) on Sunday.
Earlier this month, Copernicus found that global temperatures between July 2023 and July 2024 were the highest on record. The previous record before this week was set a year ago on 6 July. Before that, the previous recorded hottest day was in 2016, according to the Associated Press.

We used to think that when Vesuvius erupted, everyone in Pompeii was buried in their houses or going about their business. Now we know that was only about 13% of the population tried to ride it out and got buried; most people evacuated and survived.
Faced with a crisis, any human population will respond in an "all of the above" manner, with some people fleeing at the first wisps of smoke to others who sit in their houses as the volcanic bombs drop, convinced this will blow over if they just don't pay any attention to it. This guarantees that in a scenario like Pompeii, someone will make the right choice, even if nobody can know in advance what that is.
And that, from an evolutionary standpoint, was about as good as any critter could manage until humans invented science. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, that event was literally 10x larger than Vesuvius, in a more densely populated area, but it had less than half the deaths because volcanologists recommended evacuations weeks in advance. This saved literally tens of thousands of lives. But there's always going to be a few -- 847 in the case of Pinatubo -- that died because they simply refused to listen [usgs.gov] to science.
