Ocean Heat Wave

This new record comes as a global heat wave intensified wildfires in Canada and Hawaii and fueled intense heat in South America, Japan, Europe, and the US, as per NASA.

As red-hot oceans amplify deadly heat waves, storms and floods on land, exactly what's going on beneath the waves remains a big unknown. Over 80% of these bodies of water remain unmapped, unobserved and unexplored.

Earth's record monthly heat streak has hit 11 months in a row - a record in itself. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday that March's average global temperature of 54.9 degrees (12.7 degrees) was not only the hottest March, but continues a record streak that started last May.

Residents returned today to charred homes after a Christmas Day bushfire in southern Australia destroyed more than 100 properties, with firefighters bracing for a new heat wave forecast in the lead-up to the new year.

Corals reefs are suffering a severe underwater heat wave this year for the third time on record, including a mysterious warm patch in the Pacific known as "The Blob", scientists said on Thursday.

Last month was the warmest ever on record worldwide as many countries and the world's oceans experienced heat waves, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a report.
