The concern is that the lagoon has never been so warm, and this unprecedented warmth raises questions about its future.

Data indicates that the water temperature has been increasing rapidly, rising one degree Celsius per week in the last month. For example, on June 21, it was 27.19ºC, and by July 5, it reached 29.53ºC. Despite the high temperatures, oxygen levels in the water have not been negatively impacted, which is seen as a positive sign.

This phenomenon is not isolated to the Mar Menor; the entire Mediterranean region is experiencing abnormally high water temperatures, with records of 28ºC at the Cabo de Palos buoy. The extreme temperatures of last week will have impacted this record high as parts of Murcia experienced temperatures surpassing 44ºC which triggered a number of red alerts in the region.
