Spain registers record high sea temperatures for May

Spain registered record sea temperatures for the month of May along much of its coastline, the country's port authority said on Tuesday, as the UN forecast

a moderate or possibly strong El Nino, which could drive up global temperatures in coming months.



Twelve out of 15 deep-water buoys recorded their highest-ever temperatures for the month of May, as well as six out of 14 buoys along the coast, according to the Spanish port authority.



Human-caused climate change was behind the phenomenon, said Ruben del Campo, spokesperson for Spanish weather agency AEMET.
