Wow…March is over and the polls are in! Did you know it was the warmest March on record for dozens of cities across the United States? I had a feeling it was warmer than usual, but here’s some fun and interesting information:
Chicago and Washington, D.C., you have to go back to the final year of World War II (1945) to find the last time we saw a March with such incredible warmth.
In Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St. Louis, William Howard Taft was President of the United States the last time we experienced such a mild March (1910). Since then, 17 other Presidents have occupied the Oval Office.
But this isn't just about simply recording the warmest March on record; we've crushed the previous record in some cases! Chicago and Milwaukee defeated their previous March records by 4.9 and 4.8 degrees, respectively. That's a pretty amazing margin considering this is a monthly average and records in both cities date back to 1871!
It was nearly a record warm March in New York City, Philadelphia and Denver, however they came up just short and will finish in second place.
Across the nation, over 7,500 daily record high temperatures were set in March 2012. This includes more than 540 locations that set all-time record highs for the month of March.
