- This result revealed the striking consequence of global climate change.
The average air temperature in Türkiye increased by 1.7 degrees in 55 years, and the average sea water temperature increased by 2.2 degrees in the Marmara, 1.3 in the Mediterranean, 1.6 in the Aegean and 1.4 degrees in the Black Sea. This result revealed the striking consequence of global climate change. In Türkiye, where it is claimed that the risk of decreasing water resources, severe drought and forest fires has increased due to global warming, air and sea water temperatures have also increased compared to 55 years ago.
The average temperature, which was 12.7 degrees between 1970-1980 and 1981-1991, increased to 13.1 degrees between 1992-2002, 13.6 degrees between 2003-2013, and 14.4 degrees between 2014-2025. The average water temperature in 4 seas in Turkey is 1.3 to 1.3 degrees compared to 55 years ago. It increased around 2.2 degrees. According to the data of the General Directorate of Meteorology, the average sea water temperature of the Mediterranean between 1970 and 2025 was measured as 21.5 degrees.
Between 1970 and 2025, the warmest sea water temperature in the Mediterranean was 23.8 degrees in 2019, and the coldest was 20.6 degrees in 1992. INCREASED BY 1.3 DEGREES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN The average sea water temperature in the Mediterranean increased by 1.3 degrees compared to 55 years ago. The evaluation of the Mediterranean in 5 equal periods between 1970 and 2025 is as follows: The average sea water temperature in the Mediterranean was 21 degrees between 1970 and 1980. 21.1 degrees between 1981-1991, 21.4 degrees between 1992-2002, 21.9 degrees between 2003-2013, 22.3 degrees between 2014-2025. A 45-YEAR INCREASE IN THE AEGEAN SEA HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. Between 1970 and 2025, the average sea water temperature was recorded as 18.8 degrees.
The average sea water temperature in the Marmara Sea between 1970 and 2025 was determined to be 15.8 degrees. The warmest sea water in Marmara was 18.6 degrees in 2019 and the coldest was 14.4 degrees in 1987. Marmara's average sea water temperature in the 1970s and 1980s increased by 2.2 degrees in the last 10 years.
