The epoch that was warmer and drier than the Pleistocene is the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago and continues to the present. The Holocene has seen significant warming since the last glacial period of the Pleistocene, leading to the development of modern ecosystems and human civilizations. This epoch is characterized by stable climates that have contributed to the growth of agriculture and urban societies.

What was the weather like in the pleistocene period?

The climate during the Pleistocene epoch was extremely cold. More than 30% of the world was covered in ice sheets. The Pleistocene is the time period where the last ice age happened so you can predict there were many glaciers and not very many plants. So the climate was ice cold. It was much colder than it is today.
