According to a monthly report from the World Meteorological Society, this past March was the world's second warmest on record, continuing a trend of record temperatures in the past several years.

In some areas of eastern Europe temperatures soared to as much as 3 degrees Celsius over average temperatures logged throughout the last 30 years while temperatures in Australia rose to their highest ever recorded in March.

According to Australia's Meteorological Bureau, as a result of high temperatures and a lack of rainfall, arid regions also contended several large brush fires -- scientists expect fires to worsen as temperatures rise and create dryer conditions across the globe.

The bureau's measurements show the Australia's yearly average was more than 2.1 degrees Celsius over the 30 year mean temperature.

Likewise, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, recorded similar phenomenon globally in a recent monthly report.

January through February 2019 was the globe's fourth warmest two-month period in 140 years said the organization in a recent monthly report.

Not every region assessed by the World Meteorological Society (WMO) followed the same trend, however.

On mainland Europe, some countries were spared from the forward march of temperatures, with parts of Norway, Finland, and Sweden, clocking in at an average March temperature slightly colder than average.

Record-setting temperatures come on the heels of the WMO's State of the Global Climate report released late last month which details a myriad of concerning trends contributing to changing climates across the globe.

Among the key indicators that our global temperatures rise will likely continue, says the agency, is increased Co2 in the Earth's atmosphere.

In 1994 the report clocked C02 levels at 357 million parts per million while 2017 levels exceeded 405 parts per million.

With inadequate efforts to mitigate emissions across the globe, the WMO says levels will likely only increase.

In addition to glacial retreat, heat waves, and sea level rise, the consequences of unchecked Co2-fueled climate change will apply pressure across an array of critical aspects for human well-being, the report says.

Among the major effects will be the increased displacement of people across the glove.

Of the 17.7 million people who are tracked by the International Organization for Migration, 2 million were forced out due to extreme weather and climate events.

Both floods and droughts — both fueled by sea level rise and temperature increases aided by climate change — were behind a significant swath of the displacements.

'These data confirm the urgency of climate action,' said U.N. Secretary General António Guterres in a statement. 'There is no longer any time for delay...'
