PHOTO: AFP Published Jul 01, 2026, 10:50 AM Updated Jul 01, 2026, 11:08 AM Set as preferred source Listen Summarise The world’s oceans recorded their hottest June ever at 20.98°C, driven by climate change and a potential strong El Nino developing in 2026. Marine heatwaves affected 82% of oceans in early 2026, causing coral bleaching and threatening marine life, with the Mediterranean and tropical Pacific breaking temperature records. Warmer oceans increase extreme weather risks, sea level rise, and climate instability, signalling a "deepening crisis" as oceans absorb 90% of excess heat from greenhouse gases. AI generated PARIS – The world’s oceans just experienced their hottest June on record and could set fresh highs in the months ahead as El Nino and climate change drive temperatures even higher, scientists said on July 1.

World’s oceans break June heat record: Monitor Oceans worldwide recorded their hottest June ever, with global average sea surface temperatures reaching 20.98°C. Scientists warn that the developing El Nino phenomenon, coupled with ongoing climate change, could push ocean and atmospheric heat to new peaks in the coming months and into next year. This alarming trend highlights the escalating impact of global warming on marine environments.

World's oceans break June heat record, says EU monitor
World's oceans break June heat record, says EU monitor The oceans have never been warmer. They hit a record 21 degrees celcius average surface temperature in June, logged by Copernicus, the EU's Earth-observation programme. It's clearly taking a toll on biodiversity around the world, after years of warnings from experts. The onset of a potentially powerful El Nino weather pattern could boost global heat in the oceans and atmosphere even further in 2026 and into next year.

Global average sea surface temperatures in June were 20.98C, beating the previous records of 2023 and 2024, according to the European Union's Copernicus Marine Service. The record capped six months of near unprecedented ocean warmth in 2026, with prolonged marine heatwaves, the service said. Average sea temperatures in the first half of the year were 20.04C, slightly below the high set in the same period in 2024. And scientists said the onset of a potentially powerful El Niño weather pattern could boost global heat in the oceans and atmosphere even further in 2026 and into next year. "Current conditions could indicate the beginning of a new phase, leading, once more, to uncharted territory," said Carlo Buontempo, director of Copernicus Climate Change Service, the EU's climate monitor.

Scientists warn record-hot oceans could make 2027 even hotter
Scientists warn record-hot oceans could make 2027 even hotter The world’s oceans are the hottest on record for June, pushing past records set during the 2023–24 El Niño years. Right now, the average sea surface temperature is just under 21°C across the world’s tropical and temperate oceans. Before widespread industrialisation in 1870, the temperature was about 19.6°C. That may not sound like a big difference. But heating the world’s oceans this much requires a truly enormous amount of energy. Of all the extra heat trapped by greenhouse gases from burning coal, gas and oil, more than 90% has gone into the world’s oceans. As a result, the oceans are getting rapidly warmer. In 2025, the heat added was the equivalent of about 12 Hiroshima-scale nuclear bombs exploding every second of every day. open image in gallery The oceans are getting rapidly warmer. ( Getty Images ) To find a climate analogue comparable to what’s happening now in the oceans, we would have to go back around 120,000 years to before the last ice age. Back then, slow shifts in Earth’s orbit led it to heat up gradually over thousands of years. Humans have accomplished a similar result in a little over a century. But t…
