It’s astonishing to see this, even though we saw it coming months ago. White = 10°F + above normal in the El Niño regions. Its immense! In the air, a regional warming of 10° is no big deal. But in the ocean it’s immense! Think about how hard it is/ how long it takes to cool/ heat your pool. 1/

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect, but thankfully he was still able to research using Buckinghamshire Archive's remote archive service which allowed him to view our collections from the comfort of his own home.
An illustration of Gregor Samsa as a giant insect, having a fairly miserable time on his bed after his metamorphosis. A laptop is resting on his bug body so he can still research his family history. The soft glow of the laptop is illuminating his buggy face.
