Though many like to think that we can control the weather I believe only God has a say in that.

I'm sorry, I just can't help it. Every time I hear someone preaching about the latest "findings" regarding climate change, my mind immediately flashes to some late night televangelist: "We are all God's children. He loves us all. He wants a better life for everyone. But, God is broke."

Exactly, what can anyone do about it?

Well, he is talking about the water temperature, which fuels the bigger systems. Probably did it as an FYI for the new people here.

The earth been warming up since the end of the Ice Age.. NOW THATS A FACT!!

Climate change, global cooling, global warming, there is no doubt there is something happening. The question that remains on the table is if man is directly responsible. Now I'm not a scientist, but the majority of the scientist are claiming that we are responsible.
The general public in this country spends billions and billions of dollars on beauty, products, vitamins, hair lose shampoos, you name it they'll buy it with very little evidence that any of them work. Yet here we are confronted with what many said could be a looming disaster and at least once a month it is argued on this site if it is real or if there is anything that can be don't. I myself always side on prevention, especially when it comes to my grandson's future. There are things we can do here, and the global community can add financial pressure on the countries that do not meet a specified standard. Now personally I could state this has no effect on me directly since I do not go out in the noon day sun but come the end of this year, I'm going to have to find a new company for home insurance, since Farmers has decided Fl. is no longer a good bet.

Chicken Little anyone?? There is absolutely nothing anyone can do about the weather! Warning? Not even the weather-persons get it right 100% of the time.

Fake news? Current ocean water temperature in Florida

[Normal]

There is a reason the Washington Post is going into bankruptcy court. Their poor biased reporting killed them off with topics just like this one.

[HoosierPa]

My pool temperature this morning is 82 and will be about 85 at 3 pm. I’m going to enjoy it during my remaining days on earth and not worry about the ocean temperature too much unless I have spare time.

[Bay Kid]

Not to worry August is coming.

I'll trust the NOAA buoy data. On the NOAA page I can see the location where the reading was taken, hourly data, a graph of the last five days, and readings from neighboring buoys.

All I can see on the seatemperature page is a single number. I believe the page claims to have historical data (the English is poor) but I cannot seem to find it.
