Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are now approaching 32 degrees C (90 degrees F) in the open ocean of the South China Sea, the Arabian Sea, off the Mexico Pacific coast - and in the Caribbean around Cuba’s Isle of Youth although that last one is not in the open ocean. It’s highly likely readings in these locations will exceed 32 degrees C if not 33 degrees C by late summer. There has never been an SST of 33 C recorded anywhere in the world in the open ocean. 2026 will likely set a record for highest global average SST and highest global average 2 m height air temperature ever recorded and likely the highest in at least 120,000 years. 2027 could be even warmer.
The accelerating warming of the uppermost ocean is causing atmospheric warming to accelerate.
Don’t fuck with a water planet. It’s a steam engine. Especially the only planet in the universe known to harbor life.
