February shattered the
global satellite temperature records to become the
warmest above average month in recorded history. While not
yet confirmed by official datasets, this new finding is
particularly notable as it comes from one of the
two satellite datasets frequently referenced by climate deniers.
Last month was likely
somewhere between 1.15°C and 1.4°C warmer than average, marking the
fifth straight month that global
average temperatures were more than 1°C above average. Parts of the Arctic
were 16°C above average, reaching temperatures more often seen in June. The
region likely saw its lowest February sea ice levels ever, and the heat is
only expected to continue through March.
