Amazing fact from today's post from @bhensonweather.bsky.social: the contiguous U.S. was hottest on record for March, and for all intervals (2-month, 3-month, etc.) going all the way back to the 12-month period from April 2025 through March 2026. Also true for the past 18-, 24-, 36-, and 48-months.
After a season-defying March heat wave pushed things into overdrive, it’s an open question – and a crucial one – how soon more generous moisture might arrive.
