Ocean surface temps reach record high
Global ocean surface temperatures reached an unprecedented record of 21.1°C on Saturday, according to the European Copernicus Observatory, amid ongoing impacts of climate change and the El Niño phenomenon. This figure is 0.01°C higher than the previous record set in March 2024. The rise in ocean temperatures is attributed to the accumulation of greenhouse gases and the worsening of the El Niño phenomenon, which may be the strongest ever. Increasing ocean temperatures heighten the risks of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and storms, and pose a threat to marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
