27/01/2004 The World Meteorological Organisation's summary for 2003, released in December, says that the warming of the Northern Hemisphere in the latter half of the 20th century was unprecedented for at least the last 1000 years. 2003 was the third warmest on record, with 1998 being the hottest. The year brought unusual weather throughout the world, with heavy monsoons in Asia, flooding in Africa and extensive snowstorms in the Northern Hemisphere (second highest snow cover on record). An above normal number of cyclones, hurricanes and tropical storms were recorded. And the Arctic sea ice continued to shrink. Read the full release at the WMO website.
