Copernicus Marine reports that the Mediterranean Sea has reached a record high with an average temperature of 28.47 °C. Since August 6, 2024, the average temperature has been above 28 °C.

As happened a few days ago on Menorca, cool air from the northwest meets warm, humid air in the Mediterranean, 200 mm of rain falls within 4 hours and causes massive local flooding.

Autumn is now approaching and there will be more weather conditions that transport cool air and allow it to meet warm, humid air masses in the Mediterranean. Statistically, this will lead to heavy rain events locally, sometimes more and sometimes less with the potential for damage.

You can follow us to see how these new record levels will actually affect the coming weeks. Our hourly forecast for the next 10 days is updated 4 times a day. We have a radar with NowCast for this, look here
