The changing climate is causing nights to be “disproportionately” warmer than days in many parts of the world, according to scientists.

Researchers have found night-time warming to be more common than daytime warming in more than half (54%) of the land surfaces across the planet – a phenomenon they describe as “warming asymmetry”.
