The water temperature at the tip of Florida may have set a world record after it hit hot tub levels and exceeded 100F for two days in a row. The initial reading on a buoy at Manatee Bay hit 101.1F (38.4C) on Monday evening (pictured)
Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Important Takeaways:
- Florida sea may have set world record after hitting hot tub levels and topping 100F two days in a row
- The water temperature at the tip of Florida may have set a world record after it hit hot tub levels and exceeded 100F for two days in a row.
- Meteorologists said it could potentially be the hottest seawater ever measured, although there are some issues with the reading.
- Just 26 miles away, scientists have seen devastating effects from prolonged hot water surrounding Florida – devastating coral bleaching and even some death in what had been one of the Florida Keys’ most resilient reefs.
- Weather records for sea water temperature are unofficial, and there are certain conditions in this reading that could disqualify it for a top mark, meteorologists said.
- But the initial reading on a buoy at Manatee Bay hit 101.1F (38.4C) on Monday evening, according to National Weather Service meteorologist George Rizzuto.
- On Sunday night the same buoy showed an online reading of 100.2F (37.9C).
- ‘It seems plausible,’ Mr Rizzuto said. ‘That is a potential record.’
- It comes as the Sunshine State continues to swelter through the hottest summer on record.
