AI Summary. Global sea surface temperatures set daily records for 365 consecutive days, peaking at an all-time high of 21.2C, according to US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Climate Reanalyzer data. Scientists are concerned that climate change could push marine ecosystems beyond a tipping point, with seas showing no sign of returning to typical seasonal temperatures.

Oceans have hit record-high temperatures for the last 365+ days, reaching an all-time high of 70.2°F on March 13. This is raising alarms about impacts on marine life and weather patterns. @FT

Have global sea surface temperatures set records for a full year?

Core argument: Global sea surface temperatures set daily records for 365 consecutive days, peaking at an all-time high of 21.2C on March 13, according to data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Climate Reanalyzer research collaboration.

Oceans marked 365 straight days of record-breaking global sea surface temperatures this week, fuelling concerns among international scientists that climate change could push marine ecosystems beyond a tipping point. The consistent climb in temperatures reached a peak on [March 13] when the new all-time high was set for the past 12 months, at 21.2C. The world’s seas have yet to show any signs of dropping to typical, seasonal temperatures, with daily records consecutively broken since they first went off the charts in mid-March last year, according to data from the US National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration and the Climate Reanalyzer research collaboration.

  • Long-term Surface Impact of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai-like Stratospheric Water Vapor Injection — A volcanic eruption that injected large amounts of water vapor — a strong greenhouse gas — into the stratosphere is estimated to have raised surface temperatures by more than 1.5°C across large regions for several years, while cooling some areas by close to 1°C. The authors suggest a possible link to tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures that warrants further investigation.
  • Gulf Coast Temperatures Surge to Highest Levels Ever Observed — Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico have warmed more than 3 degrees above the norm for the date, with temperatures near 88°F common down to depths of 165 feet. Though the Gulf as a whole has cooled slightly from record levels, it remains near all-time highs.
  • Warming Could Push the Atlantic Past a ‘Tipping Point’ This Century — New research projects that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the network of ocean currents shaping North Atlantic climate, could collapse around midcentury as human-driven warming slows it. A much weaker circulation could cool much of the Northern Hemisphere, speed sea-level rise along North American and European coasts, and reduce rainfall in Africa's Sahel and Asian monsoon regions.
