Summary edit

Description
English: Record-breaking sea surface temperatures around Florida (USA) have soared to unprecedented levels, exceeding the normal range by more than 2 degrees Celsius for the first weeks of July 2023. This rise in seawater temperatures has resulted in widespread coral reef bleaching in the Florida Keys archipelago. On 9 July, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured an image of Islamorada, one of the areas where the phenomenon has been observed. Copernicus Marine data enables comprehensive monitoring and forecasting of sea surface temperatures, providing valuable insights into the changing thermal conditions of the world's oceans.
