Asia Warming at Double Rate, 2025 Projected Among Hottest: UN Body

🗓 18 Jun 2026, 04:01 PM 👁 1

A UN weather agency report indicates that Asia is experiencing warming at nearly double the global average rate. The year 2025 is also predicted to be among the hottest on record for the continent.

The Asian continent is warming at a pace significantly faster than previously observed, according to a report by the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The rate of warming in Asia is now nearly twice the global average.

Projections suggest that 2025 is likely to be counted among the hottest years recorded for Asia. This accelerated warming trend highlights the region's vulnerability to climate change impacts.

The WMO's findings underscore the urgent need for climate action and adaptation strategies across the continent to mitigate the escalating risks associated with rising temperatures.
