Sea weather

- The North Sea and the Baltic Sea were just under 1 °C above average in the summer of 2026; the North Sea was 15.6 °C (5th highest on record), the Baltic Sea 17.2 °C (7th highest since 1997).
- Off Heligoland, 66 days with marine heatwaves were recorded; on 1 July, the temperature was almost 4 °C above the daily average.
- Higher water temperatures encourage algal blooms and extreme weather; skippers should keep a close eye on water quality and weather forecasts.

Heatwaves: The North Sea and the Baltic Sea set to be too warm again in the summer of 2026

- On 12 August 2026, a partial solar eclipse in the evening will coincide with the peak of the Perseids in the early hours of the morning.  
- To observe these events safely, you will need to move to a new viewing spot in good time, ensure an unobstructed view to the west, check the weather forecast and use certified solar eclipse glasses.  
- On-board displays interfere with the eyes’ adaptation to darkness; for viewing many meteors, a dark viewing spot, a wide view of the sky and realistic expectations are important.

Solar eclipse and the Perseids in 2026: The night-time timetable for motorboat owners

- On 12 August 2026, the Balearic Islands will experience a total solar eclipse; over 10,000 boats are expected, along with stricter social distancing and safety rules.
- Recommended measures at sea include, amongst others: a distance of 3 sm from the coast, defensive sailing, setting out early and constantly monitoring VHF channel 16.
- ISO-certified eclipse glasses must be worn at all times in all non-totality zones; at sea, water reflections further increase the glare.
