California's oceans are breaking temperature records during a historic heat wave, with Scripps Pier recording 71°F in March—its warmest on record—breaking daily marks for days. A strong marine heat wave has developed off Southern California's coast, driven by an atmospheric ridge that weakened upwelling, allowing warm surface water to dominate instead of cold, nutrient-rich deep water rising. This pattern threatens ecological and meteorological impacts into summer, with experts monitoring whether conditions worsen or fade. These unprecedented ocean temperatures signal the intensifying effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.
