The Mediterranean Sea is hotter than the Gulf! At 91.4°F the Mediterranean just hit its highest water temperature ever measured 33.02°C! That’s hotter than anywhere in the US or Mexican #Gulf now, including off #Florida. 1/

Preliminary data shows that we may have set a new all-time record high for the daily global average sea surface temperature. The warmth in the ocean has already been quite remarkable over the last several months this year. Find more of our briefing graphics: www.climatecentral.org/climate-brie... 🌊

🚨 Last month set a new record for the hottest average global sea surface temperature in the month of July! Record warmth is found in both the deeper ocean and at the surface. This isn't necessarily a surprise, but it will have consequences for around the world. Data in the graphic from NOAA ERRSTv6

It's a peculiar summer (year) in the #Arctic. This is one of the largest contrasts in sea ice conditions that I can remember seeing between the Atlantic (near record low) and Pacific sides (highest in decades) + Concentration = fraction of sea ice + Another July view at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Here's another graphic demonstrating that the planet has already passed 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, this time using monthly averages, with a prediction to pass 2.0°C by late 2036.

The more you know ... Assuming accelerated warming, Earth passed through the Paris limit of 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline earlier this year.
