    Question

    So far we have:

    January - warmest on record. NOAA, Copernicus

    February - 2nd warmest on record. NOAA, Copernicus

    March - 2nd warmest on record. NOAA, Copernicus

    April - no information by NOAA yet. Reported as being 0.01 degrees behind warmest by Copernicus

    If NOAAs verdict is unavailable for some reason EU Copernicus Climate Monitoring is to be used instead for that month.
