Using the Hobday et al. (2018) scheme with OISST, most of the California coast is experiencing a severe marine heatwave (Category III), with a few spots even reaching extreme (Category IV; ≥4× the difference between the 90th-percentile threshold and climatology).
Water temperatures along California coast continue to warm & have now reached genuinely *astonishing* levels. At the Farallon Islands--usually the epicenter of NorCal's infamously frigid upwelling zone--temps now exceed 66F, shattering all records for this late in calendar year.
ALT Ocean surface temperature time series from the Farallon Islands, showing current water temperatures are exceeding 66F and are over 10F warmer than average--shattering all records for so late in the calendar season and also matching the warmest temperatures ever observed at *any* time of year.

That's another way to do it. CRW use the same methodology, but the original 1983-2012 Hobday baseline (not exactly, CRW starts in 1985). And they added an extra category "beyond extreme".

Marine heat waves have reached rare "beyond extreme" intensity levels near Southern California, Ecuador, Peru and northern Chile as El Niño's warmth spreads.
That's the highest level on this scale and represents a huge departure from typical conditions.

Der Chefreporter spricht von einem "ungebremsten Anstieg der Emissionen". Dabei hat die Wachstumsrate abgenommen über das letzte Jahrzehnt.

The Tropical West Pacific has warmed anomalously the last month or so
Most of this warming is due to increases in insolation/sunshine from suppressed convection there in the subsiding branch of the anomalous Nino Walker Cell
This is part of the reason why the RONI is falling

The photon is a quantum of energy that can be absorbed by internal degrees of freedom of an atom or molecule, just like you can strike a billiard ball to make it spin. The energy is "stored" in internal motion (electron on a different shell, rotation, vibration)
But this leaves the atom or molecule in a higher-energy, generally less stable state. A spinning billiard ball can dissipate its energy through friction with the table or surrounding air. A free, isolated atom, can release its excess energy by creating a new excitation of the "surrounding" electromagnetic field: it emits a photon
Our chancellor has outperformed Lomborg in that regard. 😁
Bad news @BjornLomborg, you've fallen all the way to #21 on @Newsweek's list of climate delayers & deniers:

NOAA-STAR just got updated. Here are temperature anomalies of the lower troposphere for October 2026, derived from satellite-based microwave radiometry.
Monthly global temperature anomalies from ERA5, updated through October 2026.
October finished +1.75°C relative to the preindustrial baseline.

On The Climate Brink, I once again write about how the Merchants of Doubt are going after Extreme Event Attribution.
They are running the playbook developed by tobacco to attack and undermine science.
