The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.39°C in March, down from 1.44°C in February. This fall is smaller than the 0.11°C fall reported for TempLS.
As with TempLS, March was the warmest March in the record - next was 1.35°C in 2016. It was the fourth warmest month of all kinds....

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.174°C in March, down from 1.284°C in February. It was still the warmest March in the record, just ahead of 1.138°C in 2016. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis base index fell by 0.097°C.
Here is the corresponding stacked graph, showing how much hotter recent months have been, as well as the now completed year of 2023:...

The GISS V4 land/ocean temperature anomaly was 1.44°C in February, up from 1.35°C in January. This rise is larger than the 0.165°C rise reported for TempLS.
As with TempLS, February was the warmest February in the record - next was 1.37°C in 2016.
As usual here, I will compare the GISS and earlier TempLS plots below the jump....

The TempLS FEM anomaly (1961-90 base) was 1.256°C in February, up from 1.093°C in January. It was the warmest February in the record, ahead of 1.16°C in 2016. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis base index rose by 0.061°C.
It was very warm in N America, most of Europe, and the Arctic. Cold patches in Central Asia and far NE Siberia. Antarctica was cold....
