NOAA Data on the Atlantic Ocean
Since March of 2023, The Atlantic Ocean has been setting record highs thanks to strong El Niño weather patterns between 2023 and 2024. However, data from the NOAA shows the temperatures have been cooling since May, and La Niña has come earlier than normal, leading scientists to wonder if this is the cause of the temperature shift in the Atlantic Ocean. The transition usually takes place around September but has come early this year leaving the Atlantic Ocean and other bodies of water susceptible to other extreme temperature changes.
