The heat is on, as middle July is climatologically the hottest time of year. Nationally, the core of the heat will be in the Southwest into early next week, with temperatures consistently 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher their normally hot midsummer levels.
While much of the Middle Atlantic and the Southwest had a relatively cool interlude last month, it was the warmest June on record globally. A big reason was the exceedingly warm oceans, as they cover about 70 percent of the planet’s surface.
In the eastern Gulf of Mexico, which is already warm to begin with, water around the Florida Keys has been in the lower to middle 90s for much of the last week, about 5 to 6 degrees F higher than normal. Away from tropical waters, the differences are also striking, with about 2 million square miles of the North Atlantic Ocean at least 2 to 3 degrees F higher than normal.

All else being equal, this suggests more sunlight reaching the ocean, yielding a net warming.
The sun in in it’s nearest 11 year cycle science baffled why ocean heating.
Warm, yes.
Hot? No.
I thought this was going to be about 75% of earths volcanoes being in the oceans and how they are warming them. Instead it was drek. Oh well.
In my part of Florida, S Florida, it is the wettest I can remember. My lawn has never been this green in July. The swamps are full. I’d also say the ocean is a couple of degrees warmer than usual but water temps got a late start. I will also say that the water temps, like air temps, have been exaggerated for the last several years.

Oceans of hot air from fraudulent libtards
This is the second time I have read this in two days.
I grew up in south Florida and surfed, skin dived, and scuba dived.
It was unusual for the summer air temperature to reach 90 on the coast - usually, air was upper 80s, and high humidity.
I do not recall that water temps were reported in the 1950s and 1960s.
Water temps in the 90s in the Keys sounds absurd, but I have no evidence to disprove that.
All the solar power that the sun is now capable of producing currently will not warm the existing temperature of the great mass of water more than a few meters deep into the near surface of of the oceans which circle the earth. At depths of 1500 meters or thereabouts, almost all the world’s bodies of water come to a steady temperature of about 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Only the warming coming from a volcano vent alters that significantly, and as the force of the vent rises to the surface, the effect does not spread laterally.
Fluid dynamics come into play here. Warm water rises to the top, and heavier saline water sinks to the bottom.
Something is driving all those ocean currents. Most of them have been mapped out, and some very good practical theories have been developed as to why they behave as they do.

Do NOT give these lunatics ANY ideas, LOL! Under Brandon they could just get an amendment to the Constitution passed saying that! Yikes!
Happens every year, Right? ;)
