EU Reports Record Heat, Ocean Temperatures in July
- Globally, sea surface temperatures reached record highs last month, beating the previous record set in 2023, with particularly severe heat on the Atlantic coast and western Mediterranean.
- Western Europe experienced its hottest June-July period on record, with Copernicus reporting the first two summer months were 2.79 degrees hotter than usual, reflecting what climate scientist Samantha Burgess called an "exceptional persistence of heat."
- Short of cooling water, two coal-fired plants in Poland and Hungary's sole nuclear power plant shut down last week, while about half a million hectares burned across Europe this year amid record-severity conditions.
- Brutal heatwaves since late spring have resulted in more than 10,000 deaths across Europe, with early estimates suggesting grain farmers suffered significant crop losses this summer.
- Climate change creates increasingly favorable conditions for mega-wildfires, warned Víctor Resco de Dios, a professor of forestry engineering at the University of Lleida, though he noted "through vegetation management and urban planning we can largely mitigate the problem.

Oceans worldwide have reached record-high July temperatures, partly due to the developing El Niño conditions in the tropical Pacific. According to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the average sea surface temperature hit a record high of 20.96°C, while scientists warn that extreme weather events are now becoming the "new normal".
Western Europe has just experienced its hottest start to summer on record, according to the European Copernicus Climate Change Service. This warming is also evident in the oceans, where July temperatures were the highest ever recorded for that month: the fishing industry is bearing the brunt of this, particularly in Africa.
Your Fault(ish): California Could Super High Water Levels From El Nino
No one is surprised that the climate cult and their pet media would attempt to blame Mankind for all this, right? California Could See the Highest Sea Levels on Record This Year, Thanks to El Niño California could see the highest sea levels on record this year, thanks to a historic El Niño, climate change...
The world's oceans have reached the highest temperatures ever recorded for July, a phenomenon partly determined by the El Niño conditions developing in the Pacific, according to the EU climate monitoring service, writes BBC.
