Climatic Analysis Ocean Temps

This chart shows the weekly averaged sea surface temperatures (top, °C) and anomalies (bottom, °C) for the past twelve weeks. SST analysis is the optimum interpolation (OI) analysis, while anomalies are departures from the adjusted OI climatology (Reynolds and Smith 1995, J. Climate, 8, 1571-1583).
If you notice, theres above average temperatures from the Carolinas expanding all the way up the coast to maine. This is one of the reasons we are having an above average tropical season
