While climate.gov has not released its August data, the July data are very clear. The planet continues to heat up. See the chart since 1880. Importantly completely contrary to the OP here, while July 2022 was not the hottest July ever (La Nina) I will copy the clear and important truth about how temps are changing in the last few years, and it is NOT that things are cooling. If 2022 is not as hot as 2016 that does not mean things are cooling. Climate change does not mean each and every year has to be hotter than the previous one or the theory is wrong. The trends are very very clear. The earth is getting hotter, the glaciers are melting, sea level is rising.

"The July 2022 global surface temperature departure was the sixth highest for July in the 143-year record at 0.87°C (1.57°F) above the 20th century average of 15.8°C (60.4°F). The five warmest Julys on record have all occurred since 2016. July 2022 also marked the 46th consecutive July and the 451st consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century average."
