The average sea surface temperature in the Nino 3.4 region of the central Pacific has reached 29.822C, edging past the previous record of 29.815C set in 2015. Commenters warn the new record comes roughly two months earlier in the year than the 2015 one, suggesting ocean heating is still intensifying and could fuel a strong El Nino with global climate impacts.

Why now: The El Nino monitoring region has just broken its all-time temperature record, raising alarm about accelerating ocean warming and climate impacts.

• 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
