Until today I never would have guessed it was possible for ocean water temperatures to get that high anywhere. The daytime high air temperature in Key Largo right now is only ~90.


When I read the headline I figured that it was the temp right at the surface (which would be bad enough), but it's at 5 ft deep:

> A buoy in the Florida Bay hit 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit at a depth of 5 feet Monday

That's really disturbing. It's one of those things where when you think about it you realize that it's probably more significant than anything else in the news right now and yet most people won't pay much (if any) attention to it and will continue on with their "happy motoring".

We're fucked.
