As reported by @WeatherProf, Manatee Bay, FL, recorded an astonishing sea surface temperature (SST) of 101.1°F (38.4°C) at a depth of 5' today, and also hit 100.2°F (37.9°C) yesterday -- common hot tub temperatures! An SST of 101.1°F could be a world record. A 🧵 1/9 Image Was the 101.1°F SST believable compared to the air temperature? The air temperature at Key Largo peaked at 95°F, with winds of 0-8 mph during the afternoon. With such light winds, sunlit shallow water surrounded by dark land can have an SST that exceeds the air temperature. 2/9
