Just as heat waves occurred on land, they also occurred in the sea. Credit: Copernicus Climate Change Service/ECMWF. Sea surface temperature anomaly (☌) for July 2023, relative to the 1991-2020 reference period. Plus, unusually high temperatures developed in the northwestern Atlantic. The North Atlantic was 1.05 degrees C (1.89 degrees F) above average in July, as temperatures in the northeastern part of the basin remained above average, the C3S said. The C3S noted how these temperatures came after a long period of unusually high temperatures since April 2023. In addition to the global average surface air temperatures, the global average sea surface temperatures were also record-setting in July.įor the month as a whole, global average sea surface temperatures in July were 0.51 degrees C (0.92 degrees F) above the 1991-2020 average.
