On Tuesday, Mercator Ocean International announced that the Mediterranean Sea recorded free waves, the highest during June; Where sea heat waves that reached the “standard intensity” affected 62 percent of the sea surface area.
The average surface temperature of this half -sounding sea, the temperature of which rises faster than the rest of the oceans, reached 23.86 degrees Celsius in June, bypassing the previous report in June 2022, which was 23.72 degrees Celsius, according to the International Merkatter International Military Union.
The entire Mediterranean basin became a witness of approximately (88 percent) of higher temperatures than the Mediterranean in June, especially in the Western Hemisphere, which was indicated by free “standard free waves in their seriousness, duration and scale”, according to the statement, published by the organization.
Within the framework of this distance, 62 percent of the Mediterranean surface were affected by freely free waves in June 2025, while the “largest scale was registered”, according to Mercar.
“The month of June was distinguished by the presence of a thermal dome over Europe, which had a significant impact on the Mediterranean Sea with the absence of clouds, winds and an increase in solar radiation,” said the scientist -Ocean Simon Van Jennes at the press conference.
Sea heat waves can lead to inciting hurricanes and pipes, worsening ecosystems and the cause of mass death for marine species.
The first half of 2025 was the hottest in the Mediterranean.
Mercarore expected a significant decrease in sea waves in this region until July 12 thanks to the winds that would help improve heat distribution through deep layers.
As for the oceans at the global level, this year it became a witness to June third, the most heated month of June 2023 and 2024, according to the organization, which indicated that the average surface temperature reached 20.75 degrees Celsius.
Five regions of the oceans of the world suffered from free sea waves, which made up a high severity in late June.
The oceans play the organizer of the climate, absorbing 90 percent of additional heat caused by human activity.
