Globally, March ranked among the warmest on record, with an average temperature of 13.94°C, reflecting a continued rise in global temperatures.

Sea surface temperatures reached 20.97°C, the second highest level recorded for March, while Arctic sea ice fell to its lowest level for the month, declining by 5.7 percent below average.
Weather patterns across Europe showed sharp contrasts, with drought affecting wide areas, while heavy rainfall caused flooding in parts of the Mediterranean and Scandinavia.
