Warmest June Ever for Ocean Surface Temperatures. By Brendan Doyle, McClatchy Newspapers, August 16, 2009. "Ocean surface temperatures around the world were the warmest on record for the month of June, according to federal scientists, though they caution that one month doesn't necessarily imply global warming. The warmer temperatures do confirm that... El Nino is building in the Pacific Ocean. Some scientists think that the rising temperatures hint at broader changes, perhaps resulting from global climate change... In addition to having the warmest waters, this June saw the second warmest combined ocean and land temperature on record, 61.02 degrees, which was more than a degree above the 20th-century average of 59.9."
