Florida ocean temperatures peak to almost 100 degrees amid heatwave: "You really can't cool off"

The higher-than-normal sea surface temperatures off the coasts of the Sunshine State could cause a "nasty" coral bleaching event, experts say.

That’s about 38 degrees celsius for non-Americans.
If only someone had been warning us about this for the past 40 years.
122°F (50°C) is the required sustained ocean temperature to theoretically form a continent spanning hypercane incase anyones interested.
Oh no, if it isn't the consequences to our own actions!
There is a scene in the book Ministry of the Future where there is a wet bulb event in India and tons of people flocked to the water to cool down. The water was also like 100°F so the waterways ended up being filled with dead bodies that does from being too hot.

Looks like we may not be very far from that...
Not everyone in Florida deserves this, but a lot of them do.

As the arctic ice continues to accelerate it's thaw, water levels will rise a foot in the next 30years. This is going to continue as temperatures rise. Better move to higher ground Florida. Your state will look like Atlantis in the next 100-200years.
Fucking hell, are there any animals left in that water?
Anyone have historical data at that location? Just how crazy is this?
I wonder what impact this will have on hurricane season of those water temps continue...

Florida bans hot ocean water.
"World's largest hot tub!"
That hurricane is going to hit Miami, exit Tampa and then go visit Tallahassee.
