Abnormal warming of European seas causes dangerous rainfall

Data from the European Climate Monitoring System "Copernicus" confirms the continued warming of surface water layers in the Mediterranean Sea. Following the hot periods in May and June, temperatures around the European continent at the beginning of summer reach up to 5-6 degrees Celsius above normal values.

The most noticeable deviations are recorded in the Western Mediterranean, including the Gulf of Lion and the coasts of Southern France, as well as in the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas. Abnormally high temperatures are also observed in northern waters – the Baltic and North Seas.

These climate changes intensify atmospheric dynamics and directly affect the formation of more powerful rainfall processes. Analytical data indicate that "charged" cyclones create serious dangers for southern European countries, including Bulgaria, through an increased risk of extreme rainfall and stormy conditions.
