In 2024, the hottest year in recorded history, sea levels rose at a rate 35% more than expected, according to a new >report from NASA.
The space agency explained on its website that the acceleration of sea level rise "was due to an unusual amount of >ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers."
“The rise we saw in 2024 was higher than we expected,” Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, said in a statement. “Every year is a little bit different, but what’s clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster.”

According to a single, recently-installed, city-based thermometer, located in an area surrounded by heat-reflecting glass, concrete and steel, that has only begun collecting data, and thus, has no "previously recorded data" or "recorded history."
