Every month since June 2023 has beaten its own 'hottest ever' tag—and March 2024 was no exception.
PARIS, France — Europe's climate monitor said Tuesday that March was the hottest on record and the tenth straight month of historic heat, with sea surface temperatures also hitting a "shocking" new high.
Huge swathes of the planet endured above-average temperatures in March, from parts of Africa to Greenland, South America and Antarctica.It was not only the tenth consecutive month to break its own heat record, but capped the hottest 12-month period on the books—1.58C above pre-industrial averages. "We know the warmer our global atmosphere is, the more extreme events we'll have, the worse they will be, the more intense they will be," Burgess told AFP.Copernicus said the cyclical El Nino climate pattern, which warms the sea surface in the Pacific Ocean, leading to hotter weather globally, continued to weaken in March.
"Is it a phase change? Is the climate system broken? We don't really understand yet why we have this additional heat in 23/24. We can explain most of it, but not all of it," Burgess said.
