The World Meteorological Organization says the period from 2011 to 2015 was the hottest five-year period on record. The information was part of a report released at international climate talks in Morocco.

The U.N. weather agency summarised the global climate in the past five years as hot, wild and with an increasingly visible human footprint. The agency also said that the report provides an overview of warming trends and extreme events such as prolonged droughts and recurrent heat waves.

The WMO’s preliminary climate assessment for 2016 will be released next week.
