I think it's 38 degrees celsius for Americans too. But I'm not quite sure, could also be 2 ounces, their system is kind of weird.
It’s just over half the temperature of a cooked chicken for us normal Americans.
the weirdest part is size 8 men shoe and size 8 women shoe are not the same size

Really had to do a double take. Like, what the fuck, the ocean is boiling, it can't be that be that bad, right? Then it clicked that you're using that weird Fahrenheit system.
Yes, sorry, it's weird. Celsius is easy - water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 and there we go..
F is easy.. 0 is cold. 100 is HOT..
As an American this is how I interpret Celsius
- 100 is boiling
- 50 is you're gonna die from heat exhaustion eventually
- 40 is hot
- 30 is a little warm
- 20 is a little cool
- 10 is cold
- 0 is freezing
30 is hot.
20 is nice.
10 is cool.
0 is ice.
40 and 50 can just not, please.

As a Norwegian:
- 100 is boiling
- 40 is we all gonna die
- 30 is hot
- 20 is a little warm
- 10 is a little cool
- 0 is cold
- -5 is maybe time for a jacket
- -10 shit, it's freezingly cold outside!
- -15 I'll stay indoors if I can

If only someone had been warning us about this for the past 40 years.
If only that someone had won the popular vote over 20 years ago leaving the deciding electoral votes to Florida with the narrowest of margins (hundreds of votes, by the certified count) giving it the ability to choose its own fate in a historically close election.
The number one alternate timeline I'd like to see is if Gore had become president in 2000. Even more than if the Nazis had won WWII or if Caesar hadn't gone to the senate that day.
(I'd also like to see the world if the spanish armada had taken a different course back in 1588 and avoided that typhoon though..)
I'd like to see "what if Columbus died and Europeans left the New World alone a while longer."

iirc the first publication about climate change resulting from the industrialization was released in like 1910.
122°F (50°C) is the required sustained ocean temperature to theoretically form a continent spanning hypercane incase anyones interested.
Well great, that's a new terrifying word I never heard of before today, one more thing to worry about fuck.

well that's a not so fun fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercane
Wikipedia needs to be updated about the highest recorded temperature of the ocean 😓
Done. Scary update.
Hypercanes would have wind speeds of over 800 kilometres per hour (500 mph), potentially gusting to 970 km/h (600 mph)
Nope, nope, nope !
Oh no, if it isn't the consequences to our own actions!
No no no that's where you're wrong. This is simply God's will. Carry on.
There is a scene in the book Ministry of the Future where there is a wet bulb event in India and tons of people flocked to the water to cool down. The water was also like 100°F so the waterways ended up being filled with dead bodies that does from being too hot.
Looks like we may not be very far from that...
Not everyone in Florida deserves this, but a lot of them do.
As the arctic ice continues to accelerate it's thaw, water levels will rise a foot in the next 30years. This is going to continue as temperatures rise. Better move to higher ground Florida. Your state will look like Atlantis in the next 100-200years.
No see, governor rick scott (Republican) banned his administration from using the term climate change, just like governor desantis (also Republican, surprise surprise) banned covid. So Florida is safe from both of those without any action required. Freedom!
/s because Poe's Law
It will be continuously wrecked by heat and storms in the mean time. 100 years is now beyond being only a highly optmistic timeline for these places.
It's like that meme about a high voltage station. It will not only die but suffer a lot while dying.

Fucking hell, are there any animals left in that water?
Just because they are dead does not mean the left the water
Anyone have historical data at that location? Just how crazy is this?
https://seatemperature.info/florida-water-temperature.html
So average temp in July is around 85° for the most popular destinations at least. Definitely seems like a hefty increase from the average.

Looks like NOAA has historical data here: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/historical_data.shtml. The buoy from the screenshot in the article only has a few years worth, here’s 2019: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/download_data.php?filename=jkyf1h2019.txt.gz&dir=data/historical/stdmet/
I wonder what impact this will have on hurricane season of those water temps continue...
Higher temperature is equal to more energy in the atmosphere, the result is worse hurricanes.
We should start dumping ice in the ocean. That’ll help.
ONCE AND FOR ALL

…oh. Oh, that’s gonna make hurricane season bad.
To really get the answer there you need surface temperature and temperature 100ft deep.
The surface can be hot but if it's cool deeper then then the storm churns it up and the cold water calms it down.

Welcome to Salmonella Beach!
Relavant username OP
Florida bans hot ocean water.
That hurricane is going to hit Miami, exit Tampa and then go visit Tallahassee.
