Water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea reached a new high of 28.9 degrees
Kyiv • UNN
Spanish researchers have recorded a new temperature record in the Mediterranean Sea - 28.9°C. This is 0.2°C higher than the previous record in 2023. Scientists warn of negative consequences for the marine ecosystem.
Spanish researchers reported on Friday that the Mediterranean Sea reached a record temperature on Thursday, breaking the record for July 2023. This was reported by The Express Tribune, according to UNN.
In the Mediterranean, the maximum sea surface temperature record was broken... with an average daily temperature of 28.90C.
Details
In 2023, the temperature was 0.2 degrees lower at 28.7 degrees. The previous record was set in August 2003, when the average daily median was 28.25 degrees.
In some places since the beginning of August, the water temperature has exceeded 30 degrees, in particular in Egypt (31.96C), Monaco, Corsica and near the Spanish city of Valencia. But this value is preliminary until further tests are carried out by scientists.
The World Climate Council has recognized the Mediterranean Sea as a "hot spot" for climate change. According to its forecasts, by 2060, about 20% of fish and invertebrates living in the Mediterranean could become extinct if global warming exceeds the 1.5 degree mark.
According to scientists, the oceans have absorbed 90 percent of the excess heat generated by human activity since the beginning of the industrial era.
This excess heat continues to accumulate in the form of greenhouse gases, mainly from the burning of oil, gas and coal. The publication writes that the overheating of the oceans will affect the life of marine plants and animals, including the migration of certain species and the spread of invasive species.
