  2. #World's #oceans hit highest temperature on record as #ElNiño grows
    Average temp of the planet's seas outside polar regions hit 21.1C (70F) on Saturday, according to figures from European Copernicus #climatechange service.
    That edges past 21.09C recorded on three separate days in March 2024, and is far above average for time of year.
    Warmer oceans can have wide-reaching consequences, including supercharging #extremeweather, #sealevelrise and harming marine life.

  3. #Earth’s #oceans just hit their hottest temperature ever—it’s only going to get worse
    The world’s oceans hit 21.10 Celsius last Saturday, breaking a record set in 2024
    That’s not as hot as a warm bath, but it is hottest the world’s oceans have been since European Union’s Copernicus #ClimateChange Service (C3S) started keeping records in 1979.
    The new high also reflects the fact that we are heading into an exceptionally strong #ElNiño year.
