Sub-surface sea temperatures

Issued 2 May 2024

  • The four-month sequence of equatorial Pacific sub-surface temperature anomalies (to 25 April 2024) shows weak warm anomalies across most of the central and western equatorial Pacific basin for the top 50m in depth.
  • The presence of a substantial layer of cooler than average waters near the surface suggests some cooling of the surface is likely over the next few months.
