Adding “yet another month to a new mountain chain of extreme
global temperature peaks,” March 2016 was the warmest since at least 1891,
according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
Not only that, but, as February did, March broke the
previous record by the greatest margin yet seen for any month. Compared to the
20th-century average, March was 1.07°C hotter across the globe, according to
the JMA figures, while February was 1.04°C higher.
If April also sets a monthly record—and there’s no reason to
think it won’t—”the Earth will have had an astonishing 12 month string of
record-shattering months,” writes Andrew Freedman for Mashable.
