In 2023, jellyfish sightings increased by 32% following a marine heatwave with temperatures 3-4C above average.The heat could also encourage different fish to move into UK waters, including the bluefin tuna, potentially increasing the amount of fish to catch.

Normally marine heatwaves last around two weeks, so scientists are surprised at how long this one is persisting."It is exceptional. We are about two and half months in, which is very long," says Dr Berthou.Higher sea temperatures can push up land temperatures too, as sea breezes carry the heat off the ocean.

That happened in May 2024 when a short marine heatwave contributed "significantly" to above-average land temperatures, according to the Met Office.In some parts of the world - including Australia, the US and the Pacific - marine heatwaves can destroy coral reefs or local fisheries, as well as vital seagrass meadows.

The UK is usually more protected from these impacts because overall the waters are cooler. But scientists still don't know very much about them and have a lot more to discover.

A recent study led by Dr Jacobs found that theDraper managed to keep playing with clarity of mind, winning the final five games of the match and sealing a three-hour victory at 11:44pm local time.

"There were times where I was very frustrated but I reminded myself that this is why I put in the hard work to play on courts like this," said Draper."It is something I enjoyed while I was playing even though it didn't look like it."

For Edinburgh's Fearnley, becoming British number two earlier this year was another notable landmark.Having graduated from university in the United States last April, Fearnley was ranked outside of the world's top 500 just 12 months ago.
