The climate bomb of extremely hot seas: There are more and more ballots for a race like the one in 2024

The oceans have entered unprecedented territory due to climate change, with 2026 marking particularly alarming conditions exacerbated by an extreme El Niño phenomenon. On August 22, a record high ocean surface temperature of 21.1 degrees Celsius was recorded, the highest since measurements began. This extreme warming has severe implications for marine life and increases the risk of catastrophic weather events like the deadly 2024 flood in Spain, which claimed over 230 lives. Meteorologist Juan Jesus Gonzalez Alemán warns that such extreme events are becoming more likely and emphasizes the need for greater adaptation efforts.
