Ocean surface temperatures hit record high for June

The ocean has a huge impact on the climate. More evidence that drill baby drill means burn baby burn www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🌊 The oceans have just set another record. New data show global sea surface temperatures reached the highest June levels ever recorded (20.9°C), surpassing previous records from 2023 and 2024. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is the current record breaking 27 day run of average ocean temperatures. 2023, 24, and 25 are removed so you can more clearly see the catastrophic jump the temperatures have taken. This chart goes back to 1982.

Ocean temperatures just hit a record high for June, surpassing the brutal 2023 & 2024 peaks. Fueled by fossil fuel emissions & with a strong El Niño approaching, scientists warn of more extremes to come. The oceans are sounding the alarm on our overheating planet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Temperatures are reaching new extremes, and we are already feeling the consequences of climate change. We need to come together to combat global warming. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/01/ocean-surface-temperatures-hit-a-record-high-for-june

The thing is, of course, that a small increase in ocean temperatures is a *huuuge* amount of energy.

Ocean surface temperatures hit a record high for June #Climate

Morning, your #BadNewsOfTheDay are here. 1. #collapse is here, & it's starting in the oceans: "A record global average sea temperature in June had pushed the world into 'uncharted territory'. Daily sea surface temperature had surpassed the previous monthly highs." www.ft.com/content/857d...

Interviewed by CNN and Financial Times today, about the new record set for ocean temperatures.... concerning times! www.ft.com/content/857d... edition.cnn.com/2026/07/01/c... @bas.ac.uk @attractamooney.bsky.social @laurapaddison.bsky.social

The sea has absorbed about 90% of warming driven by climate change With a boost from El Nino, this is taking global average sea surface temperatures to record highs Higher ocean temperatures change ocean ecosystems, and provide extra energy & moisture for storms www.ft.com/content/857d...

On the left, ocean temperatures of the worst El Nino in recorded history. 30-60 million people in Asia died due to famine brought on by years of drought. On the right, current ocean temperatures. This El Nino will be combined with shortages of fertilizer in poor countries. We are so fucked.

Happy July! June in Dorchester was overall a warm month, despite having a cold and quite rainy first half; mean temp 18.1°C. An exceptional heatwave saw 8 days exceed 25°C with 5 >30°C and a new all time record here of 36.2°C on the 25th. Two tropical nights included a 21.3°C overnight minimum. ⬇️

European Union monitoring indicates June saw record-high global ocean temperatures.

"Temperatures on the ocean surface have hit a record high, raising fears of another burst of extreme heat this summer.... Scientists said it was too early to say whether the sea surface heating would prove temporary or even worsen because annual peaks are usually registered in July and August."

When ocean surface records were surpassed in 2023, scientists described it as ‘worrying’ ‘terrifying’ ‘bonkers’ ! That 2023 record has just been smashed. 🌍🔥🌍🔥 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
