Parts of the Mediterranean Sea reached 30C this week, much earlier than usual, raising fears for marine life.

For some areas, this is 6 or 7C warmer than usual at this time of year.

Our story with more maps by @markpoynting.bsky.social and me here:

Map of sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea showing parts of it reached 30C such as off the coast of Calabria, and the islands of Majorca and Sicily. Below the map is a chart showing daily maximum temperature at a buoy next to Majorca where it reached 30C for the first time this early in the season.

The extent of sea ice around the world continues to remain the smallest in our satellite observation history for this time of year...

More graphs at zacklabe.com/global-sea-i.... Data from @nsidc.bsky.social.
Line graph time series of 2025's daily global sea ice extent in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 using shades of purple to white for each line for between the months of January and April. The year 2023 is also highlighted in yellow, which was the current absolute record low previously. There is substantial interannual and daily variability.
