South Florida sea surface temperature recorded at over 100°F
The Manatee Bay buoy in the Florida Keys recorded a sea surface temperature of 101.1 degrees at 6 p.m. on Monday, July 24.
It was already bad when the sea surface temperature was well over 90 degrees Fahrenheit last week, but...over 100?

FYI that's hot tub hot, as this other article notes: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/hot-tub-water-temperatures-florida-soar-100-degrees-stunning-experts-rcna96163
This might be record-breaking. In the worst sense possible.

This the temp of the water - absolutely insane. At what point does the life die off? Is this common in this area?
I think this area is relatively shallow so it can get hotter than the bulk of the seawater in deeper parts, but these are still crazy high temperatures...
That makes sense. Still, it's hard to imagine a swimming pool in Arizona getting this hot!
