El Niño causes record ocean temperatures
The European Copernicus Observatory reported that the world's oceans experienced their highest temperature on record in June, with the average surface temperature surpassing 20.98°C. This marks a new record, up from 20.89°C in June 2024. This rise coincided with the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, which led to increased temperatures in the equatorial Pacific region, potentially making 2026 one of the hottest years in global records. Studies warn that ocean temperatures will continue to rise, with expectations of additional record-breaking figures in the coming months.
