March 2023 saw some weather fluctuations, with the world experiencing the second warmest joint March on record and Antarctic sea ice reaching its second-lowest extent.įebruary 2023 was also warmer than average, coming in as the fifth warmest February with a global temperature anomaly of 0.29 ☌ above the 1991-2020 average for the month. The year 2023 is proving to be a warm one so far, with above-average air temperatures recorded in the first three months. The findings of this analysis will be important to policymakers and researchers seeking to understand and address the challenges posed by climate change. ![]() These temperature patterns have significant implications for the planet, particularly in terms of the impacts on human health, agriculture, and ecosystems. The graph shows the darker colored bars indicating the month of April. The Copernicus Climate Change Service published a graph showing monthly global and European mean surface air temperature anomalies relative to 1991-2020, from January 1979 to April 2023. On the other hand, Alaska, Mongolia, the Arabian Peninsula, India and Australia all recorded cooler-than-average temperatures. Central Asia surrounding the Caspian Sea, parts of Africa, Southeast Asia and Japan, and northern North America all experienced much warmer than average temperatures. ![]() While some regions experienced cooler than usual temperatures, other areas experienced significantly warmer temperatures.

The figure illustrates the monthly anomalies of global-mean and European-mean surface air temperatures relative to the average temperature of 1991-2020. However, a swath stretching from the UK to south-eastern Europe experienced cooler than average temperatures. The month saw above-average temperatures in southwestern Europe, with Spain and Portugal experiencing their highest temperatures in April. Despite being colder than the warmest April on record, April 2016, by about 0.2☌, it was comparable in temperature (within 0.02☌) to April 2017 and April 2018.
