According to new data released by US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), last month was the hottest April ever.
The information showed that April 2016 was the third month in a row to break the monthly record by the largest margin ever and the seventh month in a row to be at least 1C above the 1951-80 mean for that month, the Guardian reported.
The global temperature of land and sea was found to be 1.11C warmer in April than the average temperature for April during the period 1951-1980.
The new record broke the previous one by 0.24C, which was set in 2010, at 0.87C above the baseline average for April. That record itself broke one set three years earlier at 0.75C above the baseline average for April.
It all but assures that 2016 will be the hottest year on record and probably by the largest margin ever.
