The last three months really highlight just how widespread the unusually warm sea surface temperatures are found. In addition El Niño, there are several large marine heat waves, with one of the largest departures still across the North Pacific. Data from www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt... 🌊

Global map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in July-August-September 2026 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1.

It’s official, the 2026 El Niño has broken a record for the highest ocean anomaly in 170+ years… Incredibly reaching that threshold a full 2 months ahead of 2015’s record of +3.02C set on Nov 18th. See that red line? That’s 2026. Every other bold line are the strongest El Niño’s on record. 1/

Waters off Baja are running 14 degrees above normal, a severe to extreme marine heatwave by NOAA's own scale, and that heat is riding straight into SoCal's record-humid summer. This is climate collapse in real time while the current administration guts the agencies athat track it.

The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line.
