ArabiaWeather.com - Billions of jellyfish have appeared around the UK coast after weeks of hot weather.

And the British Daily Mail newspaper stated that billions of jellyfish suddenly appeared in English waters, as these creatures respond to high sea temperatures.

One of the citizens, Bentley, age 43, said, "I have lived here all my life and have never seen anything like it. Only a few thousand were floating there, but after that the number increased exponentially!"

Jellyfish, used by conservationists as a barometer of the seas, are notoriously sensitive to changes in temperature, pollution, predator numbers and food sources.

Statistics issued by the Met Office show a significant increase in the number of jellyfish, starting from the month of June, as Britain is moving towards recording the sixth warmest year since records began in 1910.
