Graph showing daily global mean sea surface temperatures for 2026. This is also compared to the daily data from the 1981-2010 average and 1991-2020 average. Annotations are also shown to the current year with the other years from 1940 to 2026. There is a seasonal cycle. There is a long-term warming trend. 2023 and 2024 are also indicated, which were the warmest years on record. Data is from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis and updated through 25 February 2026.
The daily global mean sea surface temperature is beginning to rise once again toward more anomalous value... will be keeping an eye on how this evolves in the coming months as La Niña quickly fades. 🌊
