I also don't think we are lucky but hopefully not the worst possible unlucky. I am refering to this diagram: https://sites.ecmwf.int/data/c3sci/bulletin/202406

I also don't think we are lucky but hopefully not the worst possible unlucky. I am refering to this diagram: https://sites.ecmwf.int/data/c3sci/bulletin/202406/temperature/era5_daily_series_sst_60S-60N_ocean_2024-07-01.pdf https://sites.ecmwf.int/data/c3sci/bulletin/202406/temperatu... Especially that SST as of July 1st 2024 is same as July 1st 2023, in other words, we had a jump of slightly more than a degree Celsius and a year later we are at the same place. Again, this is very bad news. Sorry.
