Record Heatwave Hits Northwest Mediterranean
A unprecedented heatwave swept through the northwest Mediterranean Sea, reaching record levels with an increase of 5.2 degrees above the normal averages, according to data from the Spanish Marine Science Institute. Researcher Justino Martinez explained that this record figure is largely attributed to the recent severe heatwave that swept across Europe, which is considered the most intense compared to any previous daily average, especially in the areas north of the Balearic Islands, Corsica, and Sardinia. The rising temperatures of the Mediterranean Sea are linked to increased risks of flooding and environmental degradation. This phenomenon also contributed to powerful floods in Spain in October 2024, which resulted in over 230 fatalities.
