Global ocean surface temperature reached highest, new data reveals

New data taken by the US government has found that since the start of April, the average ocean temperature is at around 21.1C. The highest the average temperature has been before is 21C, in 2016.

This rise in water temperature will lead to more extreme weather and marine storms, according to climate experts. According to experts, the ocean is warming up because the overall temperature of the earth is heating up too.

As the ocean heats up, polar ice caps continue to melt, leading to an increased amount of water in the sea, which can in turn cause massive floods.

This is because of global warming, caused by an increased amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
