Mr. Deke said that February and March had the largest temperature increase without being affected by El Nino phenomenon in the Pacific. ' Temperature increases from January to March occur across Asia, Europe, Central and South America, as well as the Atlantic, Indian and Western Pacific ,' NOAA said.

In addition, the British Meteorological Forecast Agency said that by 2020, global temperatures could rise by 1.1 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial average. The World Meteorological Organization warns that 2020 is a record year of extreme heat and rain, so nations need to be alert to the risk of floods, droughts and tropical storms, especially disaster caused by climate change.
