In Europe, Spain-recorded seas reached all-time highs across the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, including a Dragonera buoy reading of 33.02°C, attributed to human-caused climate change and accompanied by a record 61 heatwave days on land, signaling widespread risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and coastal communities.
