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

Answer

How reliable are sea temperature readings from Mallorca’s buoys?

Buoys provide hourly point values for a single location; local conditions like shallow surface heating can cause large fluctuations. A single buoy reading is informative but not the full picture; looking at more stations and nearshore data gives a clearer view.
