It’s been a record-breakingly warm early spring, the European Union’s Copernicus climate monitoring service said Tuesday in its monthly bulletin.
“March 2025 was the warmest March for Europe highlighting once again how temperatures are continuing to break records,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the climate change service for the EU.
“It was also a month with contrasting rainfall extremes across Europe with many areas experiencing their driest March on record and others their wettest March on record for at least the past 47 years,” she added.
Globally, this year’s March was the second-warmest ever, exceeded only by March 2024, the scientists said. The global average temperature in March was 1.6 degrees Celsius hotter than in preindustrial times.
