REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MADRID -- Temperatures of the seas around Spain have reached record highs in June, according to an article published in the English version of the El Pais newspaper on Thursday.

The report said that measurements for the first three weeks of June taken by a network of deep sea buoys around the Spanish coast showed an increase in water temperature of between 0.5 and 2.5 degrees centigrade for the period between 2007 and 2017.

The biggest increase in water temperature is in the Mediterranean, where a buoy off the coast of Tarragona registered a 2.5-centigrade increase over the past 10 years, reaching a record of 27 degrees in 2016.

Another buoy off the coast of Cabo de Gata in southeast Spain measured temperatures of 24.3 degrees centigrade, 2.4 degrees centigrade higher than 10 years ago.
