Europe's seas hit record heat as climate change endangers marine life
Human-caused climate change is driving record sea temperatures around Europe, with the Mediterranean averaging 27C in July and a Mallorca buoy reaching 33C in August. The World Weather Attribution analysis estimates warming of about 2C in the Mediterranean and 1.4C in western European seas would be unlikely without human influence, fueling marine heatwaves that threaten ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal communities as species shift north or die off.
