""What we experienced in March across the United States was unprecedented. One reason that's so concerning is just the sheer volume of records, all-time records that were set and broken during that time period.""
""We're seeing this continuation of extraordinary heat that took place during the winter months, continuing into the spring months as well. That's where it's really concerning, it's just the duration of this heat.""
March 2023 marked the hottest month in 132 years of U.S. records, with an average temperature of 50.85°F, 9.35°F above the 20th-century norm. This surpassed the previous record set in March 2012. The average maximum temperature was also notably high, at 11.4°F above the norm. Six of the ten hottest months have occurred in the last decade. Meteorologists express concern over the unprecedented heat and the continuation of extreme temperatures from winter into spring.
