Earth had its warmest February on record as ocean temperatures smashed major milestone
axios.com/2024/03/07/weather-heat-climate-change
Quick Glance: Earth Records Hottest February and Ninth Consecutive Record Month
- Earth just experienced its warmest February, marking a monthly record for the ninth consecutive time, as announced by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday.
- The relentless and exceptional global warmth, driven by human-caused warming and the El Niño climate pattern, has affected both land and ocean areas since June, raising concerns among scientists about the planet surpassing a critical climate threshold and the potential for an active Atlantic hurricane season.
- The month's average global air temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius was 0.12 degrees warmer than the previous warmest February in 2016. The warmth of the past 12-month period is unprecedented in modern records, standing at 1.56 degrees warmer than preindustrial levels.
- The new temperature records emerged just a month after the planet's 12-month average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time, leading scientists to worry about the increased likelihood of reaching tipping points with catastrophic consequences if the Earth's temperature remains near or above that threshold for extended periods.

The previous month also exceeded the previous March record by 0.10°C set in 2016.
- The global average temperature from April 2023 to March 2024 is now the highest on record, standing at 1.58°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.
- In Europe, temperatures in March 2024 were 2.12°C above the 1991-2020 average for the month, with significantly above-average temperatures observed in central and eastern Europe.

- Concerns are raised about the potential worsening of critical heat in certain key areas of Dallas, impacting particularly vulnerable populations, as emphasized by advocates.
- These urbanized areas that experience more heat than the surrounding countryside are termed heat islands due to the increased absorption and release of sun's warmth by buildings and roads.
- Mapping the hottest spots in cities aims to pinpoint them for aiding cities in decision-making regarding combating extreme heat for the welfare of their residents.
- The study's continuation aims to finalize the city's mapping and is scheduled for late July or early August. Evans mentioned a requirement of approximately 200 volunteers.
