Oceans reach record high temperatures
The European Copernicus Observatory announced that the global average sea surface temperature reached 21.1°C in August 2026, marking an unprecedented record due to the effects of climate change and the strongest El Niño phenomenon on record. This figure surpasses the previous record of 21.09°C set in March 2024, with the natural phenomenon being exacerbated by the accumulation of greenhouse gases. The report highlights that rising ocean temperatures double the risk of extreme weather events and threaten marine ecosystems and coastal communities, as excess heat leads to increased rainfall and storms.
