Climate change: March 2024 was the warmest ever

March 2024 is confirmed as a historic month, marking the highest heat level never recorded globally. Climate change data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reveals an average surface air temperature of 14,14°C, exceeding the March average of the last three decades by 0,73°C. This month even surpassed the previous record from March 2016 by 0,10°C.

Climate change: March 2024 record heat

The numerical data speak clearly: March 2024 recorded an average surface temperature of 1,68°C higher than the pre-industrial average.

Furthermore, the last year has marked a temperature unprecedented global average. A temperature 0,70°C higher than the average of the last thirty years and 1,58°C compared to the pre-industrial period. These numbers unequivocally confirm the urgent need to address and mitigate the effects of climate change.

Not just Europe

In addition to Europe, several other places in the world experienced significantly above normal temperatures during March 2024, including eastern North America, Greenland, and numerous other areas.

This framework highlights the broad scope andglobal impact of this climate phenomenon, underlining the need for a coordinated and global response to address the challenges of change climate.
