Florida ocean temperatures peak to almost 100 degrees amid heatwave: "You really can't cool off"
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.
Welcome to Salmonella Beach!
12122°F (50°C) is the required sustained ocean temperature to theoretically form a continent spanning hypercane incase anyones interested.
11well that's a not so fun fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercane
10Well great, that's a new terrifying word I never heard of before today, one more thing to worry about fuck.
3same.. I didn't know hypercanes were even hypoteticallized, super concerning

That’s about 38 degrees celsius for non-Americans.
9I think it's 38 degrees celsius for Americans too. But I'm not quite sure, could also be 2 ounces, their system is kind of weird.
7the weirdest part is size 8 men shoe and size 8 women shoe are not the same size
4You forgot the fortnight compensation on Tuesdays.

Really had to do a double take. Like, what the fuck, the ocean is boiling, it can't be that be that bad, right? Then it clicked that you're using that weird Fahrenheit system.
Yes, sorry, it's weird. Celsius is easy - water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 and there we go..
3With how mountainous Europe is, no it doesn't. What bothers me (aside from the ongoing, increasingly vivid global extinction event) is the sense that, were the situation flipped, you guys wouldn't miss a beat telling people to look it up instead of assuming every country works like theirs does.
Good news is, we'll both have something else to complain about in a year or two, if we're...still able to do that.

Not everyone in Florida deserves this, but a lot of them do.
9The Oceans definitely don't though.

If only someone had been warning us about this for the past 40 years.
8iirc the first publication about climate change resulting from the industrialization was released in like 1910.
9If only that someone had won the popular vote over 20 years ago leaving the deciding electoral votes to Florida with the narrowest of margins (hundreds of votes, by the certified count) giving it the ability to choose its own fate in a historically close election.
7The number one alternate timeline I'd like to see is if Gore had become president in 2000. Even more than if the Nazis had won WWII or if Caesar hadn't gone to the senate that day.
(I'd also like to see the world if the spanish armada had taken a different course back in 1588 and avoided that typhoon though..)

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.
8No see, governor rick scott (Republican) banned his administration from using the term climate change, just like governor desantis (also Republican, surprise surprise) banned covid. So Florida is safe from both of those without any action required. Freedom!
/s because Poe's Law
3It will be continuously wrecked by heat and storms in the mean time. 100 years is now beyond being only a highly optmistic timeline for these places.
It's like that meme about a high voltage station. It will not only die but suffer a lot while dying.
3I legit wish it was possible to purchase land in Greenland.

Relavant username OP
7JUST TURN THE A/C TO 70F. OIL'S CHEAP.
/S
The sad thing is this is essentially the proposed solution.
7There 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...
7Florida bans hot ocean water.
3Fucking hell, are there any animals left in that water?
1Just because they are dead does not mean the left the water

Anyone have historical data at that location? Just how crazy is this?

So average temp in July is around 85° for the most popular destinations at least. Definitely seems like a hefty increase from the average.
2Oof

That hurricane is going to hit Miami, exit Tampa and then go visit Tallahassee.
0Nah nobody wants to go to Tallahassee. Probably go to Myrtle Beach
0Oddly enough, the last major hurricane to hit south Carolina was in 1989.

Oh no, if it isn't the consequences to our own actions!
-2No no no that's where you're wrong. This is simply God's will. Carry on.
