14 DAY TRIAL // Recent information shared with the public by researchers working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the Unites States says that this year's March was the fourth warmest on record.
Specifically, the scientists claim that temperatures documented on a global scale last month were 0.71 degrees Celsius (1.28 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the 20th century average.
“This marks the fourth highest for March since records began in 1880 and the highest since 2010, the last March that warm-phase El Niño conditions were present,” NOAA specialists said in a statement, as cited by Mongabay.
Apart from the fact that last month was especially warm, the Administration explains that, when taking into account temperatures recorded during the first three months of the year, 2014 is currently the seventh warmest on record.
What's interesting is that, despite the fact that this past March turned out to be one of the warmest human society has until now experienced, not all regions of the world experienced an increase in local temperatures.
On the contrary, a large portion of Canada and the eastern region of the United States were actually colder than the average for this time of the year. Russia and nearly all of Europe, on the other hand, were surprisingly hot.
