More news on record high land temperatures, higher than normal ocean temperatures, and the affects on coral:
A major marine heat wave is responsible for a triple-digit number of record high heat days in Hawaii this summer, according to the National Weather Service.
Hilo International Airport saw 16 days where record high temperatures were either set or tied during the summer that ended Monday. The tally of record heat days was even higher at the airports in Honolulu, Kahului, Maui, and Lihue, Kauai — 24, 40 and 48, respectively.
“The ocean’s been several degrees warmer than normal the entire summer — and that’s what’s been pushing our temperatures up several degrees higher than normal. It’s projected to stay that way, at least for the next several months. And so we can continue to see warmer than normal conditions through that time.”
