> Even if the 101.1° water temp isn’t verified, it was exceptionally hot in the Florida Keys, and it remains that way.
> Water temperatures at other buoys, and remote sensing using satellites, have recorded water temps in the mid to even upper 90s around the Florida Keys.
> This has resulted in brutal heat for the land areas.
It may be that the Manatee bay sensors are in a uniquely hot location but the temperatures there will be negatively impacting wildlife; outside that location water temperatures seem pretty darn elevated.
