Holidaymakers have said that the Mediterranean Sea is so hot they can't even go for a dip to cool off.
Tourists visiting Mallorca have reported that the sea is offering little respite from the heat that is enveloping Europe.
One German tourist told Mallorca Magazin: 'The sea is so incredibly warm! This isn't normal!
'I even swam out further, but the water just didn't get any cooler.'
Temperatures in the seas around Mallorca in August sit, on average, around 26C.
But AEMET, Spain's national meteorological agency, said this morning that the sea surface temperatures just off the coast of Mallorca reached a sweltering 33.02C on Wednesday.
If confirmed, this would beat the previous temperature record set in the Mediterranean, 31.96C, which was set in 2024 off the coast of the Egyptian city of El-Arish.
The record before that was set in 2023, when the mercury hit 28.71C in July of that year.

A young urban explorer has been left in critical condition after falling about twenty stories from an abandoned grain elevator in Minnesota.
Ash Ranallo, whose full name is Lilly Maria 'Ash' Ronallo-Korbel, and several others trespassed inside a disused property known as the Checkerboard Grain Elevator in Minneapolis on Monday around 8.30pm, police said.
The 18-year-old, who goes by male pronouns, landed on a beam outside of the grain elevator after plunging, the Minneapolis Police Department said.
The Minneapolis Fire Department used a truck ladder to reach the Ash and provided medical emergency care at the scene before he was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, officials stated.
'This is an individual out having fun, seeking adventure and made a bad decision that resulted in life-threatening injuries. It is miraculous that [the teen] is alive,' Sgt. Garrett Parten said during a press conference on the incident.
Ash, who appears to frequently participate in daring activities according to his social media pages, is now fighting for his life after his heart stopped for about 20 minutes at the hospital, his mother, Nicole Emery, said in an update on Tuesday.

Republicans are divided over the creation of a new political party helmed by Tucker Carlson that is meant to overthrow the MAGA movement created by President Donald Trump.
Some of the President's loudest conservative critics, including the former Fox News host, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congressman Thomas Massie and former Trump counterterrorism chief Joe Kent, convened over the weekend to discuss a new political movement.
Greene posted a photo of the group sitting at Carlson's cabin in Maine, writing: 'We said no more foreign wars, and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all.'
'Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.'
Immediately, outrage over the group of 'turncoats' creating a new political platform rippled through conservative online circles.
The White House, Meghan McCain, Laura Loomer and many other prominent conservative influencers bashed the gathering of 'traitors.' McCain noted
An ex-doctor accused of raping a string of women aboard luxury boats in Rhode Island was snared after more than 20 years on the run thanks to a silly mistake.
Ronald Fischer was found living under an alias in New York last month after he obtained a new job with a pharmaceutical firm, which shared his headshot online.
The 70-year-old disappeared in 2005 before the end of his trial for an attack on college professor and mom-of-four Cheryl Gingerich two years prior. He was ultimately found guilty in absentia but never sentenced as he could not be found.
Investigators believe Fischer's bold attempt to restart his medical career ultimately led to his arrest after he obtained the prominent position at Immix Biopharma.
The company shared a photograph of the former anesthesiologist online to commemorate his new role, which resulted in a tip-off to the FBI.
The agency alerted local law enforcement and officers intercepted Fischer aboard his $1.4 million custom-built boat, the Silver Lining, in New Jersey, under the guise of a routine stop by the Coast Guard.
At the time, he assumed
An American couple who took in an Afghan migrant who's now accused of killing a British woman and stuffing her body in a suitcase in Greece have told of their disbelief over his arrest – and say he never gave them any trouble aside from teenage 'rebellion.'
The husband and wife, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Mail they were 'heartbroken' to learn from a mutual friend that Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, had been arrested over the murder of Elisabeth Jane Ross, 38, a Scottish Christian missionary who was in Athens volunteering for a charity.
The Christian couple said they cannot reconcile the sickening charges against Ahmadzai with the teenager who lived in their home for almost two years on the Greek island of Lesvos, where they were doing humanitarian aid work in the Moria refugee camp.
They effectively 'adopted' 16-year-old Ahmadzai, who was living and working in the camp as a translator for relief groups, in 2016 after he lost everything. His tent burned down in a fire that broke out during 'fighting' amongst the migrants.
'When camp burned down,' his adopted father told the Daily Mail, 'I brought
A Los Angeles teenager who narrowly survived an electric bicycle crash has spoken out about the dangers of riding e-bikes.
Raquel Waters, 14 at the time of the accident, has only just fully recovered from critical injuries to recount the harrowing moment that almost took her life.
'Only thing I remember is waking up in the hospital, having my jaw wired shut,' the teen said.
'I had staples in the side of my head, my hair was like in a big rat's nest.'
Andrea Rankin said her daughter's life was most likely saved by the helmet she was wearing on August 26, 2025.
She recalled receiving a phone call from Raquel's friend, saying she'd been in a harrowing crash on the bike.
'I picked up the phone and she said, "Rocky's been in an accident, and the ambulance is here to take her,"' Rankin told ABC 7.
'She went flying over the handlebars at a really high speed, and if she wasn't wearing a helmet, she would've probably not made it.'
This is the moment masked thieves broke into an elderly woman's house and ransacked it as she watched on helplessly.
In footage captured on a Ring camera, an 83-year-old can be seen sleeping in her bed at her home in Hayes, west London, when four balaclava-clad men burst in.
The startled pensioner then gets out of bed as one of the men, carrying what appears to be a weapon, approaches the woman - ordering her to be quiet.
The robbers can then be seen rummaging through her belongings as she is sat shaking on her bed.
After just two minutes, they flee - leaving her personal possessions strewn across the room and the visibly distraught woman is left alone in her room.
Now, the Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into the robbery with enquiries still ongoing.
The force said that several items of jewellery, as well as around £500 in cash was stolen from the property.
While one suspect was captured on CCTV carrying a weapon, no injuries were reported, it added.
An electricity supply failure is causing major disruption across much of England's train network this afternoon.
The outage is expected to last until the end of the day and is impacting rail companies in the North West and Greater Manchester area.
National Rail has warned services are delayed by two hours, while others are being cancelled or rescheduled due to a fault at a communications centre in Manchester.
The chaos has brought rail misery for many commuters, with passengers on a train in Manchester having to be evacuated from the train tracks.
One rail firm said it had to halt its services as trains are 'unable to run safely' due to a failure of the communication systems on the network.
Network Rail's Regional Operating Centre - which houses all the controls to safely operate the railway - has also been impacted, the BBC reported.
The cause of the power outage is an 'external power supply failure' in the Ardwick area of Manchester, according to Network Rail.
The lines affected are: Avanti West Coast, Cross Country, East Midlands Railway, London Northwestern Railway, Northern, TransPennine Express, Lumo and Transport for Wales.
Heartless scammers have set up a fake fundraiser after a 'talented, young footballer' drowned in the Thames.
Banta Sillah, 14, died on Tuesday after jumping into the water at Millwall Outer Dock during the heatwave.
His football club, Frontline Community FC, paid an emotional tribute yesterday, describing him as a 'much-loved' and a 'true leader'.
Within hours of the tragic teen being named, a GoFundMe appeared with a £6,000 target asking for donations to help pay for his 'burial and a memorial'.
Kindhearted members of the public quickly parted with their hard-earned money, and by last night the page had reached more than £3,000.
But Banta's football club has now urged those who donated to report the page to GoFundMe and to ask for their money back.
People were still able to donate to the fundraiser this morning, but the account had been taken down by the time of publication.
GoFundMe told the Daily Mail that no money had been released to the campaign organiser and all donors have been refunded.
In another sickening twist, the fundraiser's supposed 'organiser' Banta Silluh bears a resemblance to the dead teen's name.
Taking to their Instagram stories last night, the
A law graduate who collapsed during a bar exam has alleged that proctors refused to pause the test as she suffered a cardiac arrest, a lawsuit claims.
Mary Jane Jung, 36, suffered a medical emergency as she sat the New York state bar in July last year.
But as she began to 'gasp for air and cry out in distress,' exam officials failed to offer timely medical attention and scolded fellow test-takers for trying to help, a lawsuit filed on Wednesday claims.
The New Jersey-native said she lost consciousness and suffered a serious brain injury on July 30, 2025, at Hofstra University.
The grueling test takes around twelve hours over the course of two days.
Jung, one of around 600 examinees, began 'gasping for air, crying out, losing consciousness' and eventually turned blue as she collapsed in the exam hall shortly before a set lunch break, the complaint obtained by the Daily Mail stated.
'The unmistakable signs of cardiac arrest unfolded before hundreds of people present in the room,' the filing said.
'Yet, despite the obvious severity of the situation, Defendants' agents and employees failed to response with the urgency required by such a medical emergency.'
Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, has returned home since he was hospitalized after a bad fall over 50 days ago.
McConnell wrote in a statement that he was 'discharged' from his rehabilitation center today to 'continue my recovery at home.'
He thanked his wife, Elaine, and the 'excellent' doctors, nurses and therapists who helped him at the hospital.
'On the advice of my doctors, I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period,' he added.
A fall at his DC residence on June 14 left him briefly unconscious and paramedics rushed him to the hospital.
But he still has not been seen in public or released a video of any kind.
Last month, attention quickly turned to McConnell's wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, after she was noticeably absent during his first days in the hospital.
Chao was already in China when the senator suffered his medical emergency, having departed on a long-planned trip on June 12—two days before McConnell was hospitalized.
