Excerpt: “March 2024 brought wild weather across the U.S., as storms pounded parts of the nation and record-setting wildfires scorched more than a million acres. The month also capped off the fifth-warmest and 10th-wettest start to a year in NOAA’s 130-year climate record, according to experts and data from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). … The average contiguous U.S. temperature for the YTD was 39.4 degrees F (4.2 degrees above average), ranking as the 5th-warmest such YTD on record. Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Wisconsin each had their second-warmest January-through-March period on record. An additional 15 states had their top-10 warmest such YTD on record. The average precipitation for the first three months of 2024 was 8.15 inches — 1.19 inches above average — ranking as the 10th-wettest January-through-March on record.”
