March in the U.S.: Crazy Mild, Inconsistently Wet

By: Bob Henson , 4:51 PM GMT on April 06, 2016



After the mildest winter in U.S. history, March kept the theme going. Last month ended up as the 4th warmest March in records going back to 1895, according to the monthly analysis released on Wednesday by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. The warmth was much more consistent than usual for a strong El Niño year (see Figure 3), and more extensive than had been projected in February’s outlook for March. All 48 contiguous states (plus Alaska) were substantially milder than average. Every state from the Northern and Central Plains east to New York notched a top-ten warmest March (Figure 1), although only Alaska (not shown) had its warmest March on record. The nation’s most impressive burst of early-spring warmth arrived in Alaska on the last day of the month, when southeastern parts of the state basked in summerlike readings. A high of 71°F on March 31 at Klawock set a state record for March.
