South Florida sea surface temperature recorded at over 100°F

3 years ago by GlennMagusHarvey to c/earthscience

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/...

This might be record-breaking. In the worst sense possible.

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...
