In May, Spanish waters experienced significant temperature increases, attributed to an extreme heatwave. Monitoring networks from State Ports documented all-time highs at 18 of their 29 buoys.

The highest recorded temperature reached 26.58°C near Mahon. This rise in temperature has been observed across various regions, including Galicia, the Cantabrian coast, and the Mediterranean.

These findings highlight the ongoing effects of climate variability and raise concerns about the implications for marine ecosystems and local weather patterns.
