Florida's Record-Breaking Seawater: Hotter than a Hot Tub
The water temperature off the coast of Florida reached hot tub levels, exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius) for two consecutive days, potentially setting a world record for the hottest seawater ever measured. However, there are some issues with the reading, and it may not be officially recognized. The prolonged hot water has caused devastating effects on coral reefs, including bleaching and death. Climate change has been setting temperature records globally, and sea surface temperatures have broken monthly heat records.
