GET READY! THE PIN HAS BEEN PULLED...
I consistently emphasize the high sea temperatures in almost every three videos on the channel. This has now started to appear in the national media. The high sea temperatures must have finally caught someone's attention, and it's slowly becoming a topic of discussion in society.
Look, this isn't just any old situation. Our Black Sea water temperatures, which should normally be 21-22 degrees Celsius, are currently 27 degrees Celsius. There are some stations in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea where temperatures should be 26-27 degrees Celsius, but they're reaching as high as 32 degrees Celsius.
So, so what? 4-5 degrees Celsius won't hurt...
Remember, we're talking about differences of an average of 1.5 degrees Celsius in the Pacific Ocean during El Niño and La Nina events. So, 2 degrees Celsius above or below the average determines whether these events are severe.
For example, if the Eastern Pacific Ocean is 2 degrees Celsius above average, it's a Strong El Niño, while if it's below average, it's a Strong La Nina. Furthermore, these events bring massive rainfall and droughts to the South American continent. Even fishermen fish accordingly year after year.
Understand the significance of our 4-5 degree deviations here.
Yes...this has triggered a firestorm. Turkey is facing an unprecedented event in its history.
Our seas, warmer than the average coastal city, are, so to speak, boiling over.
