Record Earth Heat in February Broken

The U.S. National Weather Service states that the Earth's temperature has never reached the levels recorded in February since the organization began tracking temperatures worldwide. The U.S. Weather Service has been collecting temperature data since 1880 and reports that the average heat was 1.21 degrees Celsius above the average recorded in the 20th century. Additionally, the heat record for the month of February (Bahman and Esfand) surpassed the previous record set in December. Last month was 0.33 degrees warmer than February of the previous year. The U.S. Weather Service reported on March 18 that the average temperature over the past nine months was also higher than the total for the same nine months of the previous year. The U.S. Weather Service records temperatures not only on land but also in water areas. According to this organization, South America, Africa, southern and eastern Europe, and South Asia were notably warmer than other parts of the Earth. At the same time, unusual cold was only observed in certain areas of the Asian continent. The year 2015 was reported as the warmest year since temperature records began. Nevertheless, warnings since the beginning of the new year indicate that this record may soon be broken. Assessments at the end of last year showed that the El Niño weather phenomenon would have an unprecedented impact on the Earth this year. Based on estimates, the heat in the current calendar year will be unprecedented in contemporary Earth history.
