Sea surface temps around #Europe are way above normal. Marine life is highly sensitive to sudden temp changes, and prolonged marine heatwaves can trigger mass die-offs, habitat loss and ecosystem disruption. The #heatwave crisis isn't just on land...it's beneath the waves also.
🌊 Europe’s heatwave also heated the seas.
🌡️ @CMEMS_EU data from 29 June show sea surface temp anomalies reaching up to 6°C above avg in parts of the W Mediterranean, with warming also visible in the North & Baltic Seas.

A huge Saharan dust plume is stretching across the Atlantic ocean. These plumes transport nutrients to the Amazon and Atlantic Ocean, influence cloud formation, and can even suppress hurricane development. The Earth is far more interconnected than most appreciate.
🌫️ A massive Saharan dust plume crossed the Atlantic in late May, affecting Cabo Verde and reaching the Caribbean.
🛰️ Based on CAMS data, this visualisation tracks the dust's journey across the ocean, supporting air-quality monitoring.

📢#Arctic sea ice extent near record-low levels
According to our operational system:
🔵Its annual maximum extent was the 2nd lowest since 1993
🔵It was ~1.05 million km² below the long-term average, which represents an area about 3 times the size of Germany
The next two years will make the 2023-2024 El Niño look like a walk in the park.
We'll get a first glance into how resilient humanity is to a post ΔT +1.5°C world.
📢 The global Ocean records its 3⃣rd warmest February 🌊🌡️
🔵 The average global sea surface temperature reached 20.93°C, with above-average conditions across 71% of the Ocean’s surface
🔵 The #Mediterranean Sea saw its 3⃣rd warmest February
