the July average was the highest recorded ocean temperature in 128 years.

This is a very interesting conclusion, especially since the data used to calculate average ocean temperature has only been available since 2002. Prior to that, ocean temperature data was reported by mariners and the best of that data came from the age of sail when the temperature and velocity of ocean currents were very important to sailors hoping to sail to a particular port.

Once steam ships became the norm, such data was rarely and sporadically collected. That changed in 2002 when satellite based sensors were widespread enough to permit worldwide sampling.
