S.Korea's warmest winter in century
SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea had the warmest winter in more than a century due to global warming and the El Nino weather system, officials said Monday.
The country's average temperature during the three-month winter season to February was 2.46 degrees Celsius (36.4 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest since such records began in 1904, they said.
The average winter temperature between 1971 and 2000 was 0.43 degrees Celsius, according to officials at the Korea Meteorological Administration.
It attributed the unusually mild winter to "global warming and the influence of El Nino," which refers to the abnormal warming of surface ocean waters in the eastern tropical Pacific.
The administration said the February average was 4.09 degrees Celsius, 3.34 degrees higher than the average between 1971 and 2000.
