flag A weak La Niña slowed sea level rise in 2025, but long-term trends remain unchanged due to climate change.

flag A mild La Niña in 2025 slowed global sea level rise, with sea levels increasing by just 0.03 inches (0.08 cm), well below the 2024 rise and long-term average, according to NASA. flag Cooler Pacific waters shifted rainfall to regions like the Amazon, temporarily storing water on land. flag Despite record ocean temperatures and ongoing ice melt, the effect was short-term. flag NASA emphasizes that La Niña does not change long-term sea level trends driven by climate change. flag Continuous satellite monitoring, including data from Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich and GRACE-FO, confirms this temporary pause, with Sentinel-6B set to continue observations through 2030.
