If you feel incredibly hot nowadays, you are not alone. In fact, you may not even have known that you just lived through the hottest March ever in recorded history!

These temperature spikes are a cause of concern in the scientific community because they indicate the pace of global warming is accelerating. Last year was the hottest on record, edging out 2014, which held the title previously. "Overall, the nine highest monthly temperature departures in the record have all occurred in the past nine months," NOAA said.

"March 2016 also marks the 11th consecutive month a monthly global temperature record has been broken, the longest such streak in NOAA's 137 years of record-keeping."

The report showed that most of the Earth's land surfaces were hotter than average in March, "with record warmth notable across eastern Brazil, most of eastern and central Africa, much of southeastern Asia, and large portions of northern and eastern Australia."

Northwest Canada and northern and western Asia saw temperatures at least three degree Celcius above the 1981-2010 average. Australia endured its hottest March in the country's 107-year period of record, at 1.7 Celcius above the 1961-1990 average.
