Scientists are warning of an increase in marine heat waves. They can lead to an increased risk of extreme weather events.

The surface temperature of the world’s oceans has reached its highest level since the beginning of satellite records. This was reported by The Guardian.

According to climatologists, the average ocean surface temperature since the beginning of April this year is 21.1 degrees Celsius, which is 0.1 ° C higher than the previous record value recorded in 2016.

In recent years, the La Niña current, which originates in the South Pacific, has helped to lower the temperature of the world’s oceans. The wind caused warm currents from the coasts, cold water rose from the depths, which led to a cooling.

But scientists say heat is now rising over the ocean, pointing to the possibility of El Niño in the tropical Pacific later this year.

It has been noted that the increase in surface water temperature may increase the risk of extreme weather conditions: hurricanes, melting glaciers, which will lead to a rise in sea levels around the world.

Rapid warming can also harm marine wildlife and cause coral bleaching on tropical reefs.

It was previously reported that ocean temperatures rose to record levels last year, leading to extreme heat.
