Copernicus, March 2020 among the hottest in history

The global temperature of the Earth in March 2020 was equal to that of the hottest second and third month of March, 2017 and 2019. The EU Earth observation program, Copernicus, writes in a statement.
In Europe, Copernicus writes, in the most western areas, temperatures have been close to or just below average, but well above average in eastern areas and close to the Baltic Sea.
Temperatures were well above average in much of Russia and in many regions of Asia, much of the eastern and southern United States, Mexico, southern South America, central Africa and western Australia.
Below northern temperatures have been recorded in northern and western Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and eastern Antarctica, Copernicus concludes.
