March 2023 will go down in the books as tying for the second warmest March on record, and the 529th month in a row with temperatures exceeding the 20th century average. That’s more than 44 years straight without a single comparatively cool month.

Still, the relatively warm month is consistent with the expectations of climate scientists amid a swiftly warming environment. March represents the 529th month in a row with temperatures exceeding the 20th-century average. That’s more than 44 years straight without a single comparatively cool month.

“What I still find shocking is that the last eight years were the eight warmest years on record,” Cobb said. “That’s truly exceptional, given that year-to-year temperatures are impacted by natural variations associated [with] El Niño’s and La Niña’s.” “For a while, there were dynamical effects related to El Nino/La Nina, and changing wind patterns, that left Antarctic sea ice relatively unchanged even in the face of record decreases in Arctic sea ice,” Michael Mann, a professor of climate science at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote in an email. “But the effects of a warming planet, and in particular the record ocean warmth we documented earlier this year … is clearly now winning out.”In the United States, March was a mixed bag.
