South Florida sea surface temperature recorded at over 100°F

It was already bad when the sea surface temperature was well over 90 degrees Fahrenheit last week, but...over 100?
https://nbc-2.com/... (this is the article linked above)
FYI that's hot tub hot, as this other article notes: https://www.nbcnews.com/...
This might be record-breaking. In the worst sense possible.
(this is a repost of my own toot, with additional elaboration and minus hashtags)
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!

What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

This the temp of the water - absolutely insane. At what point does the life die off? Is this common in this area?
