It’s been so warm in the United States this year, especially in March. That national records weren’t just broken. There were deep-fried.
Temperatures in the lower 48 states were 8.6 degrees above normal for March and 6 degrees higher than average for the first three months of the year. That is higher than the old records.
“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is unusual. This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist. “It’s a guilty pleasure. You’re out enjoying this nice March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”
It’s not just March.
“It’s been on for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist. Scientists say an unusual combination of several weather patterns, including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm weather.
While individual events can’t be blamed on global warming, Crouch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of manmade climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
In March, at least 7,775 weather stations across the nation broke daily high temperature records and another 7,517 broke records for night-time heat. Combined, that’s more high temperature records broken in one month than ever before, Crouch said.
