Climate change and global warming are causing rising sea temperatures. Experts emphasize the health and environmental impacts of this situation.

Turkey is experiencing an extreme heat wave at the end of July. Air temperatures are approaching 40 degrees across the country, with some regions expected to reach 45 degrees.

In Antalya, sea water temperatures have exceeded 30 degrees. Experts indicate that the rise in sea water temperature will increase evaporation and may lead to sudden downpours in coastal areas.

The rise in sea water temperature may affect the reproduction and mobility of marine life, negatively impacting tourism activities. Therefore, it is recommended that citizens living along the coast pay attention to air temperatures.

The risk of bacteria is also increasing. Experts state that exceeding 30 degrees in sea water creates a favorable environment for bacterial growth. This situation can lead to health issues.

It is advised to avoid going out during midday hours and to drink plenty of water. Taking individual precautions to combat climate change is also important.
