Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each August from 1850 through 2023 for only the North Atlantic. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2023 is easily the warmest on record.
