As we close March, we close the book on a #heatwave without precedent, one meteorologists simply didn’t think was possible. As per @extremetemps research, in total 17 States set new all-time March maximum temperature records in the last 10 days… 1/

To put this into local perspective, this would be like Niagara seeing 10 straight days of 28-30C in March

Rob’s Obs @robsobs.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

This is just absurd. Flagstaff AZ has gone 10 straight days with record highs above their previous all time MONTHLY MAXIMUM for March (73F). No stretch this warm has ever been recorded there even in April! You have to go to early May to get warmer values. Data back to 1893. An unprecedented event.

I'm surprised March 2012 doesn't show up on that list

Crazy stats from Flagstaff AZ. Today will be their TENTH day in a row with a highs greater than their previous all time monthly March maximum of 73F. The week of Mar 18-24 averaged highs of 78F, more typical of mid June, and a full 10F greater than the next warmest week. Historic early heat wave.

Record hottest March day in Kansas.. 104F (40C) in Hugoton. Beats previous March record of 101F (38C) set 5 days ago. Also 104F (40C) at Ashland via KSU mesonet network if verified. Other notable hot spots: Medicine Lodge: 103F Liberal: 102F

As of today (Mar 22), Flagstaff AZ has recorded 5 straight days with max temps above its previous all time March monthly maximum (73F) NWS is forecasting another 6 straight days > 73F. Exceeding a monthly max for 11 straight days must be some sort of climate record. Off the chart stuff.

Flagstaff, Arizona: • March 19, 2026 high: 84°F • Previous March all-time high: 73°F • April all-time high: 80°F That's just plain ridiculous.

I see that Superior, Nebraska had a max of 101F on March 21 1907 during another notable March heat wave. Is that not valid?

Never seen anything like this. 200+ monthly records set today alone! Every pink dot means a city set its new all-time highest March temperature! That’s around 570 new monthly records in the last 4 days. Some set multiple times. By far the most rogue #heatwave the US has experienced in memory.

96F (36C) in Lincoln NE as of 3 pm CDT March 21st. That's 40F above their average high of 56F/13C for this date. It exceeds their hottest March temp by 5F (old record was 91F) Earliest 95F by a month (prev earliest 95F was Apr 20) Insane early season heat in the US plains today

Rob’s Obs @robsobs.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Note that back in March 1907, another early season heat wave resulted in temperatures of 101F in Nebraska and 100F in Kansas, also on March 21st.

March madness! Forecast highs (F) across the US plains today (March 21) 90s into SD. 98F for NE and KS. Over 100F for OK/TX. This graphic would be a warm day for June. MARCH??? Absolutely insane.

Flagstaff AZ has exceeded their all time March maximum of 73F three straight days as of March 20, and is forecast to exceed that mark the next 7 days in a row. Exceeding a site's monthly maximum 10 days in a row has to be some sort of climatological record. I've never heard of such a crazy stat.

Rob’s Obs @robsobs.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

To put that into perspective locally, that would be like Niagara/GTA seeing 10 days in a row above 27C in March. Simply unfathomable

The multiple 112° readings today are just 1° short of the national April record, which happened in Death Valley with 113° on April 24, 1946 and also on April 22, 2012. Note that those occurred in late April (h/t to weather historian Chris Burt).

More March madness.. - Flagstaff's high of 84F on March 19 is not only an all time high for March, it's warmer than any April maximum! (80F) - previous earliest 84F was May 2nd 1947 - Flagstaff has hit 80F only twice in April. They will exceed that mark at least 3 times this week!

Rob’s Obs @robsobs.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

This March heat wave over the SW US is mind boggling. Before this event, Flagstaff's all time March high was 73F. They have exceeded that mark the past 3 days, and are expected to exceed it for at least the next 7 days! Breaking your all time monthly record 10 days in a row?! I've never seen that.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will remember the one or two times the groundhog or Farmers Almanac was right and swear by them every year, but they'll remember the few times meteorologists were wrong and they'll never believe them. Mets need to hire the PR director from Punxsutawney Phil

Canadian snowbirds don't have to head to Florida for warmth this winter.. head to southern Alberta instead! Temperatures expected to hit the 20C mark today in south AB while Florida struggles in the low to mid teens this aftn. A good example of the warm west/cold east pattern we've been having
