'90 REPORTED SECOND WARMEST IN HISTORY

This year is off to the second warmest start on record, the federal Climate Analysis Center reports.

Only 1921 was warmer during the first three months of the year, according to climate records going back to 1895.

The nation's average temperature in March was just over 45 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the 10th warmest March on record, the center noted.

That followed the nation's warmest January on record, with an average temperature of about 37 degrees, and the 15th warmest February, when temperatures averaged just above 37 degrees.
