"The exceptional warmth that first enveloped the planet last summer is continuing strong into 2024: Last month clocked in as the hottest January ever measured. … It was the hottest January on record for the oceans, too. … Sea surface temperatures were just slightly lower than in August 2023, the oceans' warmest month on the books. And sea temperatures kept on climbing in the first few days of February, surpassing the daily records set last August."

Take care
