Temperatures in Antarctica hit records again - UN
The United Nations has announced a new anti-record in Antarctica. The jump in temperature on the icy continent reached 18.3 degrees.
The record heat was recorded by meteorologists who work on the continent and conduct their research. In particular on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Scientists note that data capture is incredibly important, as it shows a complete picture of weather conditions, climate on one of the last borders of the Earth. It is believed that this is one of the regions of the planet where the fastest warming is recorded. Over the past 50 years, the temperature has increased by 3 degrees.
An even higher jump was reported earlier in February 2020. It corresponded to a mark of 20.75 degrees. These readings were taken by Brazilian meteorologists. But this data was refuted by their American colleagues. Probably, inaccuracies were related to temporary problems with equipment or unfavorable weather conditions.
As for the previous anti-record, it was 17.5 degrees and was recorded in 2015.
Temperature readings are recorded constantly. Moreover, these data are recorded in different parts of the planet. Regardless of what kind of surface it is - land, water, ice. After that, the specialists exchange the captured data and begin to analyze what could lead to such changes.
Equipment for various measurements, including meteorological ones, is displayed on the OXO website in the section "Industrial equipment". You can choose a suitable option among more than 200 lots.
