Asia warming nearly twice as fast as before: UN weather body

Asia’s warming rate during 1991-2025 was nearly twice as high as during 1961-1990, with 2025 emerging as one of the region’s warmest years on record, according to a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report. "Asia is impacted by rising temperatures, warming ocean waters, higher sea levels and retreating glaciers," WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo said. The report released on Wednesday.
