全球海洋创下有记录以来最热6月Global Oceans Record Hottest June Ever

根据欧盟哥白尼监测机构发布的最新数据，2026年6月全球平均海表温度创下了历史新高。哥白尼海洋服务局的数据显示，6月的全球平均海表温度达到了21.0摄氏度（或精确记为20.98摄氏度），打破了2023年和2024年创下的历史同期纪录。与此同时，哥白尼气候变化服务局通过结合卫星、船舶和浮标的测量数据，记录到6月21日的全球平均海表温度达到20.86摄氏度，同样略高于2024年创下的前纪录。

According to the latest data released by the European Union's monitoring services, global average sea surface temperatures in June 2026 reached unprecedented heights, breaking all-time records. The Copernicus Marine Service reported that global average sea surface temperatures for the month reached 21.0 degrees Celsius (also recorded as 20.98 degrees Celsius), surpassing the previous June records set in 2023 and 2024. This milestone was mirrored by another dataset from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which combines measurements from satellites, ships, and buoys, showing that average global sea surface temperatures reached 20.86 degrees Celsius on June 21, edging just above the prior June record set in 2024.

这些监测机构的数据共同证实了全球海洋正处于前所未有的高温状态。哥白尼海洋服务局指出，这一创纪录的高温为2026年上半年近乎史无前例的海洋温暖画上了句号。尽管2026年前六个月的平均海表温度为20.04摄氏度，略低于2024年同期的历史最高水平，但持续的异常高温已对全球气候和海洋生态系统产生了显著影响。

The record-breaking June temperatures capped a six-month period of near-unprecedented ocean warmth in 2026. The Copernicus Marine Service noted that while the average sea surface temperature for the first half of the year was 20.04 degrees Celsius—slightly below the record high set during the same period in 2024—the persistent warmth throughout the first six months of 2026 has kept global oceans under extraordinary thermal conditions.

根据欧盟哥白尼海洋服务局的数据，2026年上半年全球海洋的特征是持续升高的海表温度以及大范围的海洋热浪。该机构的首席海洋学家西蒙·范·根尼普指出，在这六个月期间，海洋热浪呈现出稳步扩大的趋势，最终波及了全球约82%的海洋区域，使绝大部分海域都处于异常温暖的包围之中。

According to data from the European Union's Copernicus Marine Service, the first six months of 2026 were characterized by persistently elevated sea-surface temperatures and widespread marine heatwaves across much of the global ocean. Simon van Gennip, the lead oceanographer for the Copernicus Marine Service, stated that these marine heatwaves expanded steadily throughout the half-year period, ultimately affecting approximately 82 percent of the global ocean.

在这一轮全球性的海洋升温中，多个特定海域展现出了极为强烈的热应力信号。范·根尼普表示，地中海、北大西洋中部以及赤道太平洋均已显现为显著的温度异常热点区域。这些不同区域的升温信号共同描绘出一幅一致的画面，即全球海洋正处于持续且严重的温升压力之下，对局部生态系统构成了潜在威胁。

Within this global warming trend, several specific ocean regions have emerged as major areas of concern under severe thermal stress. Van Gennip noted that the Mediterranean, the central North Atlantic, and the equatorial Pacific have all emerged as prominent hotspots. According to the oceanographer, these distinct regional signals paint a consistent and troubling picture of a global ocean currently under sustained thermal stress.

科学家指出，近期全球海洋异常高温的背后，是由新开始的厄尔尼诺现象与长期的人类活动引起的气候变化共同推动的。厄尔尼诺是一种自然气候模式，其特征是赤道热带太平洋海域出现异常温暖的水温。尽管这一轮厄尔尼诺现象才刚刚开始，但气象专家警告称，它在未来可能会进一步加强，甚至发展成为数十年来最强烈的厄尔尼诺现象之一。

Scientists state that the abnormal ocean heat is driven by the combination of a newly onset El Niño weather pattern and long-term, human-driven climate change. El Niño is a natural climate pattern characterized by unusually warm waters along the equatorial tropical Pacific Ocean. Although this current El Niño cycle has only just started, meteorological experts warn that it could intensify in the coming months, potentially developing into one of the strongest patterns observed in decades.

在这一自然周期之外，人类活动引起的气候危机则是更为深层的驱动因素。在过去数十年中，全球海洋一直充当着地球主要的“散热器”角色。根据科学数据，海洋吸收了人类因燃烧化石燃料而产生的90%的过剩热量。这种长期的热量累积与新爆发的厄尔尼诺现象相叠加，共同将全球海表温度推向了前所未有的历史高度。

Layered underneath this natural cycle is the human-driven climate crisis, which acts as a persistent upward driver of global temperatures. For decades, the world's oceans have served as the planet's primary heat sink, absorbing approximately 90 percent of the excess heat generated by humans burning fossil fuels. The combination of this long-term thermal accumulation and the newly active El Niño has pushed global sea surface temperatures to unprecedented historical levels.

展望2026年下半年及2027年，科学家对全球气候走势表达了深刻的担忧。随着新一轮厄尔尼诺现象的持续发展，气象专家警告称，这一自然气候模式在未来数月内可能会进一步加强。这种增强不仅会加剧海洋内部的热量积聚，还可能将全球海洋和大气温度推向全新的历史高度，使全球气候面临更严峻的考验。

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026 and into next year, scientists have expressed significant concern regarding the trajectory of global temperatures. Meteorological experts warn that the newly active El Niño weather pattern is expected to strengthen further in the coming months. This intensification, combined with ongoing human-driven climate change, is projected to boost global heat in both the oceans and the atmosphere, potentially pushing temperatures to entirely new record-breaking heights.

欧盟哥白尼监测机构的研究人员指出，当前的温升趋势意味着全球海洋和大气温度在2026年下半年及明年初极有可能刷新更多历史纪录。由于厄尔尼诺与长期气候变化的叠加效应仍在持续释放，科学家警告称，这一双重驱动力可能会在未来几个月内继续推高全球气温，使全球气候系统面临更大的不确定性。

According to researchers from the European Union's monitoring services, the compounding effects of this strengthening climate pattern mean that the world could see further record-breaking highs in the months ahead. Scientists caution that the dual drivers of El Niño and long-term global warming will continue to exert upward pressure on global temperatures, threatening to push the global climate system into uncharted territory through the end of 2026 and into 2027.
