   The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) produces this weekly report using data and products from the National Water and Climate Center and other agencies. The report focuses on seasonal snowpack, precipitation, temperature, and drought conditions in the U.S.
In a recently released report, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration summarized the recorded temperatures and precipitation for the U.S. during the month of March. Per an excerpt from the report:
“The average temperature of the contiguous U.S. in March was 46.9°F, 5.4°F above average, ranking as the sixth-warmest March in the 131-year record. Generally, March temperatures were above average to much above average across most of the Lower 48, except for parts of California and the Southeast. Kansas had its fourth-warmest March on record (tied with 1946), with Nebraska and Texas recording their fifth-warmest. Overall, eighteen states experienced a March average temperature that ranked among their ten warmest on record. The top map shows March temperatures compared to the 1991-2020 average, with places that were cooler than average in blue and places that were warmer than average in red.”
