Warmest March

Do I get to start over with a new list of temperature records?  According to NOAA, last month was the warmest March since records began.  It beat the 2010 record for March by 0.05 degrees Celsius.

Update (June 19):  And now the warmest May.  Beating the 2014 record for May by 0.08 degrees Celsius.

Update (July 18):  And now a tie (with 1998) for the warmest June according to NASA.

Update (July 20):  NOAA agrees--June broke last year's record by 0.12 degrees Celsius.  The first six months of 2015 are also the warmest first half year.

Update (August 15):  And now the warmest July. A strong El Nino event is likely to make 2015 the warmest year on record. I'm not sure if this makes last month the warmest ever in weather records.

Update (August 20):  So, yes, last month was the warmest on Earth since records began.  The average of 16.6 degrees Celsius is 0.08 degree warmer than the previous record from July 1998.

Update (September 20):  And now the warmest August. Also the warmest summer.

Update (October 13):  And now the warmest September according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency.

Update (November 17):  And now the warmest October.  Last month was the largest anomaly of the 1600 month temperature record.

Update (December 16):  And now the warmest November.  Last month was 0.25 degrees Celsius warmer than the previous record.

Update (December 22):  This is what this year looks like compared to the six warmest years.
