Record heat in the sea off Mallorca: How dangerous is it really?

Answer

How hot is the sea off Mallorca recently, and what does a 33°C reading indicate?

A buoy off Dragonera registered 33.02 °C around 4 p.m., with cooler values later that night. Such spikes show how extreme daytime heat, calm conditions, and a shallow surface layer can drive rapid warming. A single reading doesn’t prove a new normal; longer-term data from multiple sites are needed to see the trend.
