Land Surface Temperature Anomaly (Global): March, 2024
Summary
The monthly LST analysis was based on the LST of March, 2024. A multi-year global monthly LST climatology was generated as a reference. Monthly daytime LST, monthly daytime LST climatology, monthly LST anomaly, monthly LST variability, and monthly LST variability climatology were shown. The LST of this month is summarized as follows:
- The monthly anomalous temperature events and corresponding geopotential height and precipitation anomalies are detected using a machine learning method.
- Warm anomalies dominated most of the world's land surface, including Canada and Mexico, Europe, western and central China, northern and southern Africa, southwestern Australia, and the northern and central parts of South America. Notably, South Africa witnessed the most significant temperature deviation, recording values +6.5 ℃ higher than the average
- Africa is experiencing extreme condition. According to reports from The Watchers, thousands of high-temperature records were broken across Africa.
- Most of North America observe cooler temperatures in March relative to February, though conditions stayed anomalously warm, especially in Central America and Greenland. This shift reflects the northeastward progression of high-pressure anomalies.
