NOAA forecasts show the polar vortex may have ended its season early. After a strong showing this winter, it was disrupted in early March and isn’t expected to recover, marking one of the earliest breakdowns of the stratospheric vortex in decades. climate.gov/news-features/…

Arctic sea ice likely reached its largest coverage for the year on March 22, later than usual, but it was still the smallest winter maximum ever recorded in the 47-year satellite era. Read more: climate.gov/news-features/…

La Niña has ended, and the tropical Pacific is now in a neutral state—neither La Niña nor El Niño. Without those patterns influencing the atmosphere, it’s harder to anticipate seasonal shifts in rain or temperatures. Neutral likely lasts through fall. climate.gov/news-features/…

The global average surface concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) for 2024 was 422.7 ppm, according to a NOAA analysis. During 2024, CO2 concentrations grew by 3.7 ppm. Methane and nitrous oxide also grew, but not as quickly. See: gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/gl… for more.

March averaged 46.9°F across the U.S., about 5°F above the 1991-2020 norm. The central Plains were especially warm. Parts of the Rockies and Southeast were dry, while the Midwest saw unusually high rainfall. Learn more: climate.gov/news-features/…

When is it safe to start planting outdoors? This video shows how to use our NOAA map to find the average date for the last freezing temperatures of the season at your location, based on U.S. climate normals data from 1991-2020. Read more: climate.gov/spring-freeze

On March 1, Antarctic sea ice reached its smallest coverage of the year. This year’s minimum extent tied 2022 and 2024 for the second-lowest summer sea ice area observed since satellite records began in 1979. Learn more: climate.gov/news-features/…
