The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has revealed that April 2014 has tied with 2010's April temperature of being the warmest April on record globally.
According to NOAA, the average global temperature has been 1.39 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average, Mashable reported.
NOAA said that much of the globe was "much warmer than average" during April, particularly in central Siberia, where temperatures were more than 9 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1981-2010 average.
It was revealed that that central Siberian region, along with parts of eastern Australia and scattered regions in every major ocean basin were record warm.
On the other hand, parts of southern and eastern Canada, the northern US, and Eurasia were cooler than average. No land areas, though, were record cold.
