Pacific's Nino 3.4 ocean temperature hits new record high

The average sea surface temperature in the Nino 3.4 region of the central Pacific has reached 29.822C, surpassing the previous record of 29.815C set in 2015. Commenters note that because the old record came two months later in the year, the new high so early suggests further warming is likely as the season progresses. The reading is being shared as a sign that ocean heating in the Pacific is not slowing down.

Why now: A record ocean temperature in the key El Nino monitoring region signals potentially stronger climate impacts ahead.

• This is it people. The average ocean temperature in the Nino 3.4 region of the Pacific Ocean is now 29.822C. The previous record was 29.815C in 2015, 2 months later than today's date. That means the heating isn't done yet. Source: https:// bsky.app/profile/taberwest.bsk… · faab64@todon.eu · 8
