 The article discusses the record-breaking temperature of 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctica, which is possibly the highest ever recorded on the continent. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is verifying the reading, which was taken at Argentina's Esperanza Base on March 24. If confirmed, it would surpass the previous record of 59°F set in 1974. The WMO has formed an international committee to investigate and validate extreme weather records. The organization is working with national meteorological agencies to collect data and evidence to support or reject the new record. The Argentine base where the reading was taken is located near the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, which is one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth. Researchers are studying climate change in the region, and this record-breaking temperature could be a sign of the accelerating warming trend.
