It would be helpful if people put the unit of measurement in the title for articles like this

on one hand , yes specificity is king. on the other hand.. if the sea was at 212f (100c) I feel like it'd be reported by a wider swath of news outlets.

No one in their right mind would read that title and think 100 degrees Celsius.

Nothing says news like the ocean boiling like a teakettle making sealife stew.

On the plus side, jambalaya. On the minus side, ecological catastrophe.

This summer I have been keeping my Florida hot tub temperature at 94°F, which is reportedly 7.1 degrees lower than most others.

It’s pleasantly refreshing and usually cooler than both the wet bulb temperature and the bag of water attached to my neurons.

Never been much of an ocean swimmer myself, but I am curious about the heat-enhancing properties of the layer of water where the reading was taken.

I’m headed there now to read the NOAA Coastal Water Temperatures Guide (hot tub, not Manatee Bay) which has an interactive map.
