Much of the Highlands was cooler and greyer than normal in July, but not particularly wet, the Met Office has said.
Longyearbyen airport had an average temperature of 6.1°C, which is 2.5°C above normal. Global air and sea surface temperatures were also at record levels.
Temperatures in Finland last month were between 1.5 and 3.5 degrees Celsius warmer than normal in most parts of the country.
A new report from NOAA and NASA confirms that last month was the hottest July ever recorded, driven to new heights by human-caused climate change.
Our hottest and coldest days are both getting warmer and tropical nights are becoming more common, a report says.
