Responding to the reports' findings, Bob Ward, policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics, said:
"The new global temperature record announced today completely exposes the myth that global warming has stopped.
"There is mounting evidence all around the world that the Earth is warming and the climate is changing in response to rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
A small but vocal number of people maintain that the observed temperature anomalies are not the result of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities warming the planet.
It is also a view that is held by a number of politicians, making them reluctant to introduce regulations or legislation aimed at cutting emissions.
He added: "No politician can afford to ignore this overwhelming scientific evidence or claim that global warming is a hoax.
"Climate change is happening, and as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, national scientific academies and scientific organisations across the world have all concluded [that] human activities, particularly burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are primarily responsible."
Emma Pinchbeck, head of climate and energy policy at WWF-UK, said there were reasons to be optimistic that the international community would act to curb emissions.
"There is still time to cut emissions and keep the rise in global temperature under 2C (3.6F)," she said.
"This is the year for politicians in the UK and abroad to show leadership and to deliver the global agreements and national policy we need needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."
The UN climate summit in Paris at the end of the year has become the focus for campaigners and policymakers alike.
It is being billed as the time when nations will come together to agree on a global roadmap to reduce emissions from human activities and prevent dangerous climate change.
However, many commentators refer to the 2009 talks in Copenhagen that promised so much but, in the end, delivered so little.
