Sea surface temperatures are well below normal in the western North Atlantic, but the BBC says warm temperatures around the UK are due to the burning of fossil fuels.
“Climate change is causing oceans to warm around the globe and is making marine heatwaves like this one more likely.”
Marine heatwave: UK sea temperatures soar after exceptionally warm Spring
My guess is that UK’s sea carbon capture has cooled down the Oceans.
Considering that the carbon capture process releases way more co2 into the atmosphere than it captures there should be a significant increase in Englands infamous 15 degrees C heatwaves.
Maybe even one or two sunny days during summer.
The Brits call 80F a heatwave cuz Britain, for the most part, is cold & rainy. Heck I have worked where the temp was 95F with 78% humidity…that work was in BOOT CAMP at Ft. Leonard Wood MO. The whole fort is in a huge bowl like depression in the middle of NOWHERE!
The buildings inner roofs were dripping water just like WE drip sweat!
Surface temperature. Don’t go any deeper.
More Spring sunshine hours when the AMO is warm, and the AMO is warm because of the centennial solar minimum. That’s real climate change.

Curious that the maximum sunshine occurred when we were all locked down and unable to enjoy it. Obviously exercise and vitamin D are the last things to be encouraged to ensure the nation’s health.
England in March and April 2025 are the records:

but not in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland:

Met office UK data should be used with caution.
Approx 30% of their temperature measuring sites are class 5 junk status.

I live in the Midwest. the last time I was in the ocean was in northern New Jersey about 10 years ago. I’m sure many of us have heard of the beautiful sand beaches of New Jersey. we couldn’t wait to get down there and enjoy ourselves. the temperature of the air was nice…. the sand was great…. the water was so cold it probably took me 20 minutes to get used to it. wasn’t even 70°. and that was at the end of July. apparently global warming skipped New Jersey
