Current El Nino shatters sea temperature records on monitoring charts

Scientists say the ongoing El Nino is stronger than anything in previous records, forcing at least one academic climate monitoring centre to expand the Y axis of its sea surface temperature chart to fit the new data. Measurements in the Niño 3.4 region of the Pacific show ocean warmth well beyond prior El Nino events, prompting concern about what the anomaly means for global weather patterns and climate trends.

Why now: Record-breaking ocean temperatures linked to the current El Nino are raising alarm about climate change impacts.
