#swimsocks
Wondering if this will mean a record year for weever fish?
PSA: if you go to the beach, use swimsocks/shoes or avoid warm sandy shallows areas where they lurk...

(even with a single spine sting and a high pain threshold, my weever experience was pretty intense)
This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Excited to do Roding Valley #parkrun this morning, followed by my first cold (4.7c!) open water swim in a wetsuit at #luxboroughlakes. Had holes in swimsocks so feet got cold after one lap. I will be back! #loveEssex
