The global body says the record heat was confirmed in February, 2020, saying the measurement indicates a point-eight degree jump during the past five years.
It added that the Antarctic Peninsula is among the fastest-warming regions of the planet.
The organization also warned that such new temperature records are in line with other signs of climate change that the world has been witnessing.
