On Monday, as much of the country stewed in bubbling heat, a boiling milestone was hit — a buoy in Florida registered a jaw-dropping 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature.

This was on the heels of the same buoy in Manatee Bay registering 100.2 degrees on Sunday. For perspective, the average hot tub temperature is 100-102 degrees F...

That’s like saying the air temp is 200 when you put the thermometer on black asphalt. There is no way the water temp is 100

Summer is Hot boys and girls in my area I have not seen record temps.

It doesn’t get much over 90 here and I’ve seen summers where we reach 95-100 when it’s hot.

There’s a scam going on.

If that’s the legitimate temperature of the water it would mean something for hurricanes.

I snorkeled a bit in the Keys. You can find bathtub warm spots, and spots that are quite cool, not far from each other, and near the surface. Same in the lakes I fish in.

All thermometers are 100% accurate 100% of the time. We’re doomed.

Holy s**t the shallows are 100 not the deep water, damn the gulf current brings all the warm water up the coast.

I looked up Manatee Bay on Google Earth and it looks like a shallow backwater. It’s not even close to open water.
