The Third Pole region — covering high-altitude areas in and around the Tibetan Plateau — has now broken its temperature record for four consecutive years, from 2022 to 2025, the centre was cited as saying.
The report said most parts of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were warmer than usual last year, with 16 provincial-level regions recording their warmest year since 1961. The PRC recorded an average of 16.5 high-temperature days with a daily high of 35 C or above, the most in history and 7.4 days more than normal, the centre has said.
