- Description
The Mediterranean Sea suffered a major marine heatwave this summer with sea surface temperatures reaching 5°C higher than average.
This animation shows the development of the Mediterranean marine heatwave over time from March to August 2022 compared to averaged data during the same months from 1985 to 2005. The redder the observations, the more the sea surface temperatures different from the norm.
