Timeline

  1. El Niño expected to peak

    Oceans are expected to keep warming until the current El Niño peaks, projected between November 2026 and January 2027.

  2. Copernicus announcement

    The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service publicly announced the record Monday.

  3. Record repeated

    The 21.1°C average held Saturday, confirming the new high.

  4. New record reached

    Ocean temperatures hit 21.1°C (70°F) on Friday, narrowly topping the March 2024 mark.

  5. Copernicus confirms June-July temperature record

    EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service releases data showing Western Europe's average June-July temperature reached 21.62°C, breaking the 2022 record.

  6. July breaks global sea surface temperature record

    Beyond extreme land heat, July 2026 sets a new record for highest average sea surface temperature (20.96°C) in extra-polar oceans, aided by developing El Niño.

  7. Record June heat

    June temperatures soar, contributing to the hottest June on record for Western Europe, with high-pressure systems trapping heat.

  8. First of four heatwaves begins

    Western Europe enters a prolonged period of extreme heat, with the first of four distinct heatwaves starting in May.

  9. Previous record set

    Global average sea surface temperature set its prior daily record in March 2024, at the close of the Southern Hemisphere summer.

Oceans hit 21.1°C — hottest sea temps ever measured

Global sea surface temperatures hit 21.1°C (70°F) on Aug. 21-22, 2026, topping the March 2024 record and arriving in August, far outside the seasonal peak. Copernicus attributes the anomaly to a supersized El Niño layered on human-caused warming, with oceans expected to heat further until the El Niño peaks between November and January. The result: more acidic, oxygen-poor seas, stronger storms, larger storm surge and amplified heat waves.

3°C Above Normal: Western Europe's Hottest June Triggers 4,700 Deaths

The EU's Copernicus service confirmed that June 2026 was Western Europe's hottest on record, with temperatures more than 3°C above the 30-year average. The extreme heat led to over 4,700 excess deaths, wildfires, and power disruptions, highlighting the accelerating impacts of climate change. With sea surface temperatures also at a record high and El Niño strengthening, risks to ecosystems and infrastructure are mounting.
