"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 the, where heatwaves can last longer than other areas of the country.

Oceans have absorbed 90% of the excess heat created by humans burning fossil fuels, and as a result have warmed overall by 1C.

"Before we started having this exceptional weather this spring, the waters were already in a hotter state," says Dr Berthou.The firm sends cars from its UK business to its US business - meaning it pays both export and import taxes on any cars it sends across the Atlantic.

The company also said it is frustrated thatto reduce tariffs on cars to 10% up to a quota of 100,000 vehicles is taking so long to come into effect.
