Norway's Arctic archipelago Svalbard on July 25 recorded its highest temperature for over 40 years. The temperature is almost equal to the all-time record, the country's meteorological institute reported. According to scientific study, global warming in the Arctic is happening twice as fast as the rest of the planet. For the second day in a row, the archipelago registered 21.2 degrees Celsius (70.2 Fahrenheit) of heat in the afternoon, just under the 21.3 degrees recorded in 1979, meteorologist Kristen Gislefoss told AFP. Later in the afternoon however, at around 6:00 pm local time, it recorded 21.7 degrees, setting a new all-time record.
