Kees van der LeunUnprecedented, there's that word again. Global sea surface temperatures over all the oceans between 60⁰N and 60⁰S are in uncharted territory this year. Chart shows deviation from the 1982-2011 average for the date.

If you remember that H2O has (one of) the highest warmth storage capacities of any material available, then we'll have a warm ocean for a long time.
(heat storage made of stone often is used whenever you have temperatures possibly exceeding boiling or freezing point - otherwise water is the way to go)
ArneBab@rustoleumlove @Sustainable2050 @tuxom In the ocean north of Spain we’re at +5°C anomaly: https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/
@ArneBab @Sustainable2050 @tuxom it seems as though Spain is going to continue to get slammed by climate change...
i think about the Iberian peninsula a lot.
i think it was years of brutal dought, then recently, terrible flooding? it's probably going to be a rough summer...
