This article provides an update on the status and trends of marine heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific (NEP). It notes that globally, sea-surface temperature anomalies have remained at record-breaking levels since last year, with approximately 40% of the global ocean in marine heatwave status. The impact of the El Niño on the NEP was mixed, with surface ocean temperatures remaining warmer than normal in some areas but cool anomalies present offshore of California. The article also discusses preliminary zooplankton data, which indicates a decrease in warm-water species, suggesting the diminishment of the El Niño. The current forecast anticipates minimal warming offshore and low probabilities of marine heatwaves along the coast in the coming months, but anomalously warm temperatures may reach USA and Canadian waters in the summer.
