The hottest days of the 2021 heatwave coincided with very low, early afternoon low tides throughout most of the Salish Sea (the inland waters of BC and Washington State). As a result, surface temperatures in excess of 50 °C were observed in the intertidal zone (Fig. 6a, b), particularly on gently sloping south and west-facing surfaces that received the most direct solar radiation.

- Rocky intertidal shores are some of the most physically stressful habitats on Earth, and
- many of the species that occupy them often live very close to their physiological tolerance limits.
- Intertidal ecosystems are therefore often used as bellwethers for the ecological effects of
- climate change and
- extreme weather events.
- Plants and animals that live in the intertidal zone are especially susceptible to extremely high temperatures during daytime low tides,
- when solar radiation can raise organismal body temperatures well above air temperature.
