That's a huge amount in climate science, where records are often broken by hundredths or tenths of degrees. The level makes February the most unusually warm month ever recorded, scientists from the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) said.

C or F?
Good question.
I looked into it and they report 0.83C which means the 1.5° is F.
Thanks, 1.5F is worrying but 1.5C would have been really concerning. I was guessing it was C because it was a scientific measurement but it was being reported in USAToday so all bets were off.
