March 2020 among hottest on record
Temperatures last month were among the hottest on record for March, the European Union's satellite monitoring service said yesterday, with particularly extreme warm weather over Russia, home to much of Earth's permafrost. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said March 2020 was 0.68 degrees Celsius warmer than the average March from 1981 to 2010, and on par with March 2017 and 2019 -- currently the second hottest on record after March 2016. Temperatures across Europe were almost two degrees Celsius hotter than the historical average, it said.
