Temperature readings on a buoy at Manatee Bay soared to 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday evening and hit 100.2 the night before.
Ocean water off the southern tip of Florida broke a scorching 100 degrees for back-to-back days this week in a potentially record-breaking event that has stunned experts.
“This is a hot tub. I like my hot tub around 100, 101. That’s what was recorded yesterday,” said Yale Climate Connections meteorologist Jeff Masters. “We’ve never seen a record-breaking event like this before.” There is no official record-keeping for seawater temperatures and a number of conditions would have to be met in order for the sweltering numbers to be validated. But weather forecasters believe the Florida waters could have set a new world record.The highest known ocean surface temperature hit 99.7 degrees in Kuwait Bay in July 2020, according to a study published the same year. There is, however, no official list of the top water temps.
The two consecutive days of 100+ temperatures also lend credence to the readings, University of Miami tropical meteorologist Brian McNoldy said.
