Niño 3.4 ocean temperature

NOAA’s ERSST v6 series reports 29.38°C for August 2026 in the Niño 3.4 region.

Area: 5°S–5°N, 170°W–120°W. Monthly regional absolute SST, not a global average or anomaly.

Natural variability and long-term warming both require context; this reading alone attributes neither.
