Holy smokes! Beijing, China 🇨🇳 just hit +25.6°C today.
This is a full +5.8° hotter than the record from 1996 and about +20°C warmer than normal for this time of year!
North and South Korea also recorded their hottest February day ever.
This winter heatwave is truly immense.

It is a hemisphere of extremes, the cold in North America is still strong and the Russia brutal cold hangs on (very widespread too).
Arctic is seeing some exceptional warmth move in from the Atlantic.
