🪸 Coral Bleaching Outlook
Alert Level 2 is forecast for the Central and Southern Gilbert Islands, as well as the Line and Phoenix Groups, indicating a risk of coral bleaching and possible coral mortality. The rest of the islands are expected to experience no coral heat stress.

🌕 Extreme Spring Tide Advisory
The next extreme spring tide is forecast for 26 October 2026 at 4:22 PM, with a predicted height of 2.87 metres.
