From December 2025 to February 2026 (DJF 2025/26), global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) were generally above average, with the notable exception of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.1 Above-average SSTs persisted across the extratropical oceans in both hemispheres. In the equatorial Pacific, below-average SSTs were consistent with a weak La Niña; however, an enhanced east–west SST gradient sustained coupled ocean–atmosphere signals more characteristic of a stronger event, as reflected in the rainfall anomalies.

Pressure on water resources is increasing worldwide and can be very acute at the local level. Rising consumption across sectors combined with population growth in already water-stressed regions is intensifying water scarcity. Desalination has long been developed to supply fresh water in the most affected areas, with significant implications for the energy system: energy use ranges from under 0.1% to as much as 15% of total final consumption, depending on national reliance.
