Hello Francois. Can you contact the right people about Juan de Nova Island ?
The temperatures there are more and more abnomally high compared to all other islands nearby and even with a weaker marine heat wave, the heat is exaggerated and relentless.
There is something wrong (Calibration problem?)

Record heat allover East Asia
From an incredible mild night in MONGOLIA highlands:
Min -0.5 Ekhiingol Warmest ever in winter

to record warm in SE Asia
Puerto Princesa,Philippines had its hottest December day ever on 1st with 34.2C

Next days Hundreds of records allover the area

TANZANIA RECORD HEAT
Exceptional and unprecedented warmth even at night in the highlands.
Tabora at nearly 1200m asl recorded its hottest night for December (by much) with a Minimum of 22.6C.

Tanzania in the past 12 YEARS, had cooler than normal months only a couple of times!

what impresses me more is that 2025 has been totally Nino-free, yet all 12 months beat those of the strong Ninos 2016 and 2020. All 12 and almost all comfortably.

Not Ninos of 50/100 years ago, 5 years ago.
That s brutal.

The mid 2023 "singularity" came to stay.

nearly every single country in the world except italy smashing records.
let s see if there will be another one left. i don t think so.

Strong heat wave incoming in New Zealand where a combination of a marine heat wave, an high pressure and hot air from Australia+local fohn will certainly bring high temperatures.
