Scientists announced that the average sea surface temperature outside polar regions reached the highest value ever recorded for July, according to Environment | The Guardian. The record-setting warmth came amid severe heat waves that broke land temperature records across western Europe, as reported by Euronews and AP News.
The EU’s Copernicus climate change service found that July’s sea surface temperatures hit record highs along the Atlantic coast and the western Mediterranean, leading to intense marine heatwaves that affected European seas. This global July average surpassed the previous record set in 2023, underscoring a sharp rise in ocean temperatures.
Such record sea temperatures are a tangible indicator of ongoing climate change, with implications for marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and coastal communities worldwide.
