Mr. Deke said that February and March had the largest temperature increase without being affected by El Nino phenomenon in the Pacific. ' Temperature increases from January to March occur across Asia, Europe, Central and South America, as well as the Atlantic, Indian and Western Pacific ,' NOAA said.
