According to National Weather Service meteorologist George Rizzuto, a buoy at Manatee Bay at the tip of Florida reached 101.1 degrees on Monday night.
The same buoy had a reading of 100.2 degrees on Sunday night, which means that the water had reached hot tub levels for two days in a row.
Back-to-back readings above 100 degrees may not be a record, as heavy seagrass and the area’s shallow nature could be influencing the water’s temperature.
Nevertheless, the hot water has bleached coral and killed some reefs.
