A hot patch of water off the eastern coast of New Zealand has created a huge red blob on heat maps as a marine heatwave sweeps the South Pacific Ocean. The blotch stretches tens of thousands of square kilometres and is one of the warmest sea spots on the planet with temperatures of up to 20C. The water is 4C degrees above the average temperature of 10 to 15C, nearing temperatures in the Tropics, which range between 20 and 30C. Professor James Renwick, a weather and climate researcher at Victoria University, said the phenomenon is caused when an area becomes concentrated with sunshine and little wind.

Have they tried to communicate with it? Maybe Bergoglio could help...

When someone uses the phrase “Giant red blob of hot sea water”, 68 degrees F wouldn’t come to my mind. I would think more like 100 degrees or warmer.

68 isn’t hot. It just isn’t. The headline lies.

Typical fake news.

The goal of a headline is to get you to read the article, not give you truthful information.

Agreed, but it is still a fair piece warmer than 50, which was what I was replying to. There are things that won’t thrive at 68 that do fine at 50—but there are probably things that do fine at 68 that won’t thrive at 50.

How weird for warm water to appear in summer time. So darn freakish we should give up our guns and all our cash.

It is the math that is hard : )
To convert temperatures in degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 (or 9/5) and add 32.

Yes. A dozen or so people were just killed in New Zealand due to a volcanic eruption of a low lying volcano. Apparently it’s hard for some people to put two and two together.
