According to measurements, the world's oceans are warmer than ever before. The North Atlantic extremes are particularly surprising - in the long term, climate change could also threaten the Gulf Stream. A record every day - for over a year now. Since March 2023, the average temperature of the world's oceans has been warmer than ever before. The trend continues and the warming has consequences especially for the most important ocean currents - and for our weather in Europe.
The temperature of the oceans is subject to natural fluctuations. For example, warming in the Pacific can also be attributed to the current El Niño climate phenomenon. This happens every few years and causes warming in parts of the Pacific. The temperatures of other oceans also fluctuate due to natural circumstances. (by Elisa Miebach, more at zdf.de)
