While most of the Northern Hemisphere felt record breaking or near record breaking heat, the Southern Hemisphere, including western Australia, the Indian Ocean and parts of South America felt a little cooler than average.
Even though the streak has been stopped, 2016 is still on course to become the hottest year since records began.
