February 2023 Temperature Update
Globally, February 2023 was the 5th warmest February since record-keeping began in 1850. La Niña has ended. Thus far, 2023 is on pace to be the 3rd, 4th, or 5th warmest year, but still has time to move higher or lower. If a strong El Niño develops later this year, a chance remains for 2023 to become a record warm year.
