Short summary

This study advances our understanding of Adriatic marine heatwaves (MHWs) under historical and far-future extreme warming scenarios, emphasizing the critical role of the Po River plume and Adriatic natural variability in shaping MHW dynamics. While the pseudo-global-warming (PGW) approach used in the study provides valuable insights, future research should adopt more comprehensive modelling frameworks to better capture the complexities of future climate change and its impacts on MHWs.
