flag The North Pacific hit record heat in 2025, triggering global weather shifts despite weak La Niña.

flag The North Pacific Ocean recorded its hottest summer on record in 2025, with a massive marine heatwave dubbed the “warm blob” affecting an area ten times the size of the Mediterranean. flag Scientists are puzzled, as climate change alone can't fully explain the event’s intensity and duration. flag Reduced sulfur emissions from cleaner shipping fuels in China may have diminished sunlight-reflecting aerosols, amplifying warming. flag The heat has already influenced weather in Japan, South Korea, and the U.S., fueling storms and thunderstorms. flag Weak La Niña conditions are expected to persist, but researchers suggest the Pacific’s extreme warmth may override typical La Niña impacts, potentially leading to colder winters in Europe. flag The event underscores how regional ocean changes can have global consequences.
