The surface waters of the Mediterranean Sea reached a record temperature of 28.54 degrees on August 13, according to information from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) of Spain. This value represents the highest temperature ever recorded throughout the Mediterranean since at least 1940. The information was shared by Aemet on its social media.
During practically the entire month of August, the Mediterranean broke daily temperature records, indicating that this was not an isolated occurrence but rather part of a prolonged trend of warming of Mediterranean waters during that period.
The article also indicates that at the end of June, the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea already showed high values, although the text appears incomplete and it is not possible to confirm the complete data for that period.
