28-29C at the momentI hope the sea will cool down towards the end of Sept. I hate sea temps above +26C.

If it's under 24c when I get there I'll sulk! But usually at the end of Sept, the sea's warmer than the hotel pools, but both are agreeable - especially late afternoon after a sunny day!I hope the sea will cool down towards the end of Sept. I hate sea temps above +26C.

That's nuts. How can anyone swim in that?
The Mediterranean is warming, it’s a fact, after that it’s 28degrees on the surface, so in depth it remains colder, which is not the case for tropical seas! in Ibiza there are fewer and fewer octopuses due to global warming, for example, and the lion fish have already arrived in the Mediterranean (not yet in the Balearic Islands but it will happen within a few years) so yes , seeing lion fish on the menu can be real in the future there is also the blue dragon that was spotted on the Costa Blanca this summer (a Moluccan who lives in tropical waters)That's nuts.

The litmus test I guess will be whether hotter waters change the western Med, eg whether indigenous fish can not only survive rising temps but also new venomous predators - and how fishing catches adapt? Have yet to see lionfish on Spanish menus but could that change...?

I always though octopus on menus was mostly of the deep frozen variety caught elsewhere...Our waters in the channel island have had massive numbers of octopus this summer, they are eating all the crabs, lobsters and other crustaceans. They have started popping up on menus all over the islands this year.
