The Final Report

Here is the latest update on global sea-surface temperatures.

That spike in late February finally made it from "preliminary" to "final" and was scaled back by about 0.01°C. This made yesterday's SST of 21.075°C (preliminary) the hottest of the year (so far).

The image is a graph. X-Axis is the date 1st Jan 2000 until 8th March 2026. Y-Axis is the percentage of the preceding 365 days, which are above different global mean surface temperature (GMST) anomaly milestones. Example On 8th March 2026, the previous 365 days had: * 100.0% days over 1.0C * 98.4% days over 1.1C * 94.2% days over 1.2C * 80.5% days over 1.3C * 58.4% days over 1.4C * 35.1% days over 1.5C * 16.2% days over 1.6C * 4.4% days over 1.7C * 0.3% days over 1.8C * 0.0% days over 1.9C * 0.0% days over 2.0C The plot looks like a set of coloured waves, where each wave is a different GMST anomaly (0.2C, 0.3C, etc), and shows the temperatures increasing and decreasing over roughly 5 year periods, but overall they keep getting hotter over time. The Global Mean Surface Temperature Anomaly values, come from Copernicus ERA5, and use the 1850-1900 "Pre-Industrial" baseline. This graphic is an update, to the ones I posted in September 2024, February 2025, March 2025, June 2025, November 2025 How the graph was created: https://parisagreementtemperatureindex.com/warming-tapestry-percent-days-over-milestone/

Global Warming surging upwards in waves.
The last 365 days:
* 100% over 1.0C
* 35% over 1.5C
* 4% over 1.7C
The post 2024 mega-surge still hasn't bottomed out.
El Nino is rearing its head in the forecasts, hinting at higher temperatures to come?

The pattern next week is truly going to be extreme. A record breaking heat dome is forecast for the West with cities like Palm Springs and Phoenix likely to break monthly March records (possibly by a long shot) while the East sees a late season cold blast. It’s going to be wild.

‘A sobering preview’: extreme heat now affects one in three people globally, study finds Rising temperatures making it hard even for young, healthy people to safely do normal physical tasks in many regions

1 in 3 people affected by extreme heat, given just a ~ 1.5C hotter planet

This number will explode in coming decades as huge parts of the world become effectively unliveable

This, in turn, will drive starvation, conflict and migration on an unprecedented scale
