It was not only one of the hottest summers on record ... the sea temperature was literally in the same boat. According to the Port Authority the record was broken on August 11 off the coast of the island of Dragonera with a temperature of 31.34 degrees and then again on August 25 31.36 degrees, an all-time record.
