UK Marine Heatwave: A Canary in the Coal Mine for Climate Change The Met Office's warning of an impending "extreme" marine heatwave around parts of the UK serves as a stark reminder that climate change is no longer a distant threat, but a harsh reality.
Sea temperatures off eastern and southern England are expected to surge by 4 5C above average, posing potentially disastrous consequences for marine life.
This heatwave's fueling is not a new phenomenon; it has been building up over months, driven by the same "heat domes" that brought record breaking air temperatures in May and June.
