tweeted Tuesday that the sea surface temperature recorded by the buoy was"astonishing." That peak temperature, he said, was recorded at just five feet deep. "Official world SST [sea surface temperature] records are not kept," he said."But according to a 2020 paper…the world SST record may be 37.6°C , recorded by the offshore station KISR01 in the middle of Kuwait Bay.
Buoys nearby have consistently recorded water temperatures in at least the mid-90s for days now. The Little Blackwater buoy, located across a stretch of highway that separates it from the Manatee Bay monitor, hasn't recorded temperatures below 91.4 degrees Fahrenheit since Monday afternoon. Further south, the Vaca Key buoy has also remained at temperatures in the low- to mid-90s.
