GLOBAL temperatures remained at record highs in March, continuing an exceptional heatwave that has exceeded scientific predictions, according to Europe’s climate monitoring service.
In Europe, March recorded the highest temperatures ever, surpassing previous records by a significant margin, the Copernicus Climate Change Service reported on Tuesday.
Stonix News reports that this extreme heat has led to unusual rainfall patterns across a continent that is warming faster than any other.
Globally, March was the second hottest on record according to the Copernicus dataset, maintaining an ongoing period of record-breaking or near-record temperatures that has lasted since July 2023.
