It's Official: UN Just Confirmed Antarctica's New Heat Record at 18.3 Celsius

The Antarctic Peninsula is among the fastest-warming regions of the planet - almost 3 °C over the last 50 years

Antarctica's average annual temperature ranges from about minus 10 ° C (14 °F) on the coast to minus 60 °C (minus 76 °F) at the highest parts of the interior.

Even more so than the Arctic, the Antarctic is poorly covered in terms of continuous and sustained weather and climate observations and forecasts, even though both play an important role in driving climate and ocean patterns and in sea level rise.
