Waters around the world are reaching unprecedented levels. Worldwide, the average temperature of all oceans has never been this high since March 2023.
In the case of the northern part of the Atlantic, the current temperature is 20.4°C, about 1°C warmer than average. The consequences of such warming are diverse. An increase in ocean temperature contributes to climate change. The hotter the water, the more easily it evaporates. And the more humidity increases in the air,. The more precipitation there is. Warming oceans provide fuel for the formation of increasingly powerful hurricanes. Each year, the North Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1. But the waters there are historically warm, the first tropical storms could form sooner. Their adaptation is sometimes made difficult because of the brutality of the phenomenon, or even impossible above a certain temperature. The warmer the ocean, the less CO2 is captured by the atmosphere. The more water vapor there is, the greater the chance of cloud formation. The higher the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, the higher the risk of global warming.
