- Copernicus expects warming in 2026 to almost certainly exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels; officially, the threshold is assessed over multiple years.
- October was the warmest worldwide since records began and marked the third consecutive month above 1.5°C.
- Copernicus estimates 2026 will probably be the second-warmest year; there is a 20% chance it could surpass the 2024 record.
- In October, sea-surface temperature across the latitudes from 60°N to 60°S reached 20.95°C, a new October high.
What is particularly significant is that the four-year average is also expected to exceed 1.5 degrees, illustrating how prolonged this phase of global warming has become.— Samantha Burgess of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, commenting on the Copernicus climate data.

- Oceans absorb most of the heat from human-caused global warming and are currently at their hottest surface temperatures for early summer.
- New records between 20.86 and 21.0 degrees Celsius were recorded on June 21, 2026, exceeding previous highs from 2023 and 2024.
- The El Niño climate phenomenon amplifies this trend, contributing to droughts and floods mainly in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Elevated ocean temperatures increase atmospheric energy, heightening the chance of severe storms and heavy rainfall events.
The current conditions could be the beginning of a new phase that will lead us again into unfamiliar territory.— Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo; he noted that the current conditions could herald the start of a new phase leading us into unfamiliar territory.
