Giant jellyfish attacking Scotland.

They're everywhere!! From Daily Mail:

Jellyfish up to half a metre long have been appearing on beaches in Scotland following a rise in sea temperature.

Holidaymakers playing on the sands around Banff in the Moray Firth north of Aberdeen have been warned to beware giant stinging jellyfish which have been washed up in their thousands this summer.

'It's very rare to see 40cm plus common jellyfish but the waters have been full of them over the last few weeks,' said Dr Kevin Robertson, of the Cetacean Research and Rescue Unit.

'The temperatures are very much higher in the coastal waters this year. Normally at this time of year we measure maximum temperatures of about 14 or maybe 15 degrees, but we are well into higher figures at the moment - around 17 degrees at least.

'It's created ideal conditions for a jellyfish boom and we are seeing much larger specimens than usual as they fulfil their full growth potential.'
