IJR News — today's news from every sideSpain Seas Set Summer Temperature Records — 22hGlobal sea surface temperatures have sustained daily records for 100 consecutive days, about 1 degree Celsius above the 1982-2010 average, driven by ocean heat uptake and an emerging El Niño, with warnings of coral bleaching, stronger rainfall and storms, and ongoing marine heatwaves likely into next year.
