Hottest March on Record

When you look at the entire worlds temperature both on land and water, March turned out to be the warmest on record. NOAA analyzed the data and found the average ocean temperatures were the warmest for any March and the global land surface was the fourth warmest for any March on record. Also, the planet has seen the fourth warmest  January through March period on record.  It is hard to believe in light of our local record cold weather this past winter.  These patterns underscore how climate change results in unusual weather patterns that should become more frequent.
