Record High Temperatures Recorded in the German North Sea Due to Climate Change in 2024
The German North Sea has reached unprecedented temperatures in 2024, with the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) reporting the highest levels since records began in 1969. Surface temperatures exceeded the long-term average by up to 1.5 degrees, particularly warmer in May and June. The Baltic Sea also recorded its second warmest year. Experts attribute these alarming trends to the ongoing climate crisis, significantly affecting marine ecosystems.
