March 2025 Becomes Europe’s Hottest Month on Record

New data highlights unprecedented heat and extreme weather patterns across Europe, reflecting the intensifying impacts of human-driven climate change.

Europe experienced its hottest March ever recorded, with temperatures exceeding pre-industrial averages by 1.6°C, according to the Copernicus Observatory.
Significant regional weather extremes were observed, with parts of Europe facing record-breaking droughts while others endured the wettest conditions in nearly five decades.
Global temperature trends show nearly every month since mid-2023 has surpassed pre-industrial averages, with Europe warming faster than any other continent.
Experts attribute these record-breaking temperatures to human-induced climate change, driven by the massive combustion of fossil fuels.
Despite typically cooling La Niña conditions, March 2025’s heat records underscore the severity of ongoing global warming.
