The waters along the coast of East Anglia, including Norfolk and Suffolk, are currently under a category two marine heatwave. This significant warming trend means sea temperatures are between 1.5C and 4C above the seasonal average.
Temperatures are projected to climb even higher, potentially exceeding 30C by the middle of this week.
