The entire west coast of the UK is now about 2.5C above average. A large portion of Scottish waters are 2-3C warmer than usual for the time of year.In one location, just off Tyne and Tees, temperatures are 5C higher than average, according to the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.

Dr Zoe Jacobs, who is based at the National Oceanography Centre, first noticed the unusual marine temperatures a few weeks ago. She found that pockets of the UK had been coming in and out of a mild heatwave since late 2024. That heat intensified and spread in March and has now surged.A marine heatwave is defined as sea temperatures that exceed the seasonal threshold for more than five consecutive days. In the UK the marine heatwave threshold for May is 11.3C.On 19 May the average sea surface temperature reached 12.69C.

"It started in the North Sea and the Celtic Sea. Now the North Sea has cooled down a bit but the west of Ireland is extremely hot," says Dr Berthou.One of the warmest springs on record is driving the surge, as high temperatures and weak winds warm the top layer of the ocean.

Marine heatwaves in the UK are thought to be a relatively new phenomenon but they are expected to increase in frequency and intensity.

It is still a bit of a mystery how exactly they will affect marine life, but the signs so far are not good.It is the largest test of voter opinion in Scotland since the UK general election in which Labour heavily defeated the SNP.

It is also the first real opportunity to see if Reform UK's recent successes in England can give them what they call a "tartan bounce".The outcome will help shape the political narrative in Scotland ahead of the national Holyrood election next May.

While Hamilton has its place in the history of horse racing, it has also earned iconic status when it comes to jockeying for political power.It was here that Winnie Ewing made her stunning by-election breakthrough for the SNP in 1967.
