The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service has published its latest report, finding that the world's oceans absorbed a record 23 zettajoules of heat last year, nearly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. The report also notes that sea levels are rising faster, now reaching 4.2 millimetres per year, underlining the accelerating impact of global warming.

The EU's Copernicus climate service reports that ocean heat reached a new record in 2025, continuing the trend of warming seas driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean heat content is a key indicator of climate change, and successive records underline the pace at which the world's oceans are absorbing excess heat. The finding adds to growing concern among scientists about marine ecosystems, sea level rise and extreme weather.
- 3Copernicus promotes ERA5 reanalysis datasets in Climate Data Store●Find out more about ERA5 reanalysis and other datasets available in the # C3S Climate Data Store CDS # ClimateChange . 👉
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is directing researchers and the public to its ERA5 reanalysis dataset and the wider Climate Data Store, which offers free access to global climate data going back decades. ERA5 combines observations with weather modelling to produce consistent records of past climate conditions, widely used for climate monitoring and research. Resources explaining what ERA5 offers and how to use the CDS are being shared alongside links to the service's online platforms.
- 4Summer 2026 was Western Europe's hottest on record●LA NOTIZIA: L’estate del 2026 è stata la più calda di sempre in Europa occidentale: battuto anche il 2003 L’estate del 2
The summer of 2026 was the hottest ever recorded in Western Europe, surpassing the previous record set by the 2003 heatwave. The finding comes from a report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the EU's climate monitoring programme. The record confirms the ongoing trend of increasingly extreme summer temperatures across the continent.
- 5Copernicus: Western Europe's summer was hottest on record●Agi: Copernicus: "Nell'Europa Occidentale l'estate 2026 la più calda di sempre" AGI - L' estate 2026 è stata la più cald
The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service says summer 2026 was the hottest ever recorded in Western Europe, surpassing the previous record set in 2003. The finding, reported by Italian news agency AGI, underscores the accelerating pace of heat extremes on the continent. The report is drawing attention as evidence of intensifying climate change impacts in Europe.
- 6Ocean heat storage hits record high, Copernicus reports▼The heat stored in the oceans has reached its highest level, according to the latest Copernicus report
The latest Copernicus Climate Change Service report finds that the heat stored in the world's oceans has reached its highest recorded level. Ocean heat content is a key indicator of climate change, since the seas absorb most of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. Scientists say the record underscores the continued warming of the planet and its consequences for marine life, sea levels and extreme weather.

The EU's Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service has published its latest report, finding the oceans absorbed a record 23 zettajoules of heat last year, nearly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. Sea levels are also rising faster, reaching 4.2 millimetres per year. Environmental groups are highlighting the figures as evidence of accelerating climate change.
