Marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea are decreasing in intensity and extent. The western basin is affected by only moderate categories.
The marine heatwave in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Caribbean Sea remains stable with strong category. The marine heatwave extent around 30°W and near the equator decreases, only a few scattered areas remain.
The marine heatwave between the Japanese and North American coasts is decreasing in extent with moderate category. The marine heatwave in the Japan Sea decreases in extent and intensity. The marine heatwave in the Yellow Sea and in the East China Sea increases in intensity, with strong to severe categories and locally extreme.
