Since we’re in Hurricane Season, with the water so unusually warm, I worry
about if a Hurricane hits that water.

I don’t remember ever seeing the temps being this hot in the 26 years
I’ve lived in Florida.

You just don’t understand we’re in a 8 years cooling trend that’s been repeated several times in Weather Forum.
You see I see it but others don't
Ross Island wit have a high of -34° and a low of -51° atmospheric conditions at clear.
My unofficial weather station says it’s 98° in the shade…

Scary thoughts. Will be interesting to see what happens. Andrew was a meandering storm 2 days prior to hitting south of Miami

Tropical weather that drifts over from Africa always hits the warm water of the Caribbean and Gulf. Please tell us you didn't believe that idiotic report that water temperature in key Largo was 101.1. Pretty amazing when you consider a 12,000 gallon pool on your lanai reaches 87 with no waves pulling in cooler water from deeper areas, but the 22 trillion gallon Atlantic gets to 101.1 with constant waves hitting the shore. I call BS, double BS and triple BS. Somebody must think we're pretty stupid.

More like 82 quintillion gallons. But what's six orders of magnitude among friends?

We may see hurricanes forming over the hot swimming pools. 96 degrees last evening- 99 a couple of weeks ago.

OMG yes, let’s have another climate discussion thread!

My pool is set for 88 degrees and the heater has had to come on every day. My lanai must be exempt?

Mine is set for 90 but I believe it is currently sitting at 99. Yours is more exempt than mine.

(Are you sure it is the heater coming on and not a pre-set filter cycle?)

No, it's the heater. I have a huge live oak in my back yard that blocks the sun for half the day. Very annoying that my pool won't even hit 90 in this weather.

90+ in Dec Jan & Feb not summer (may - oct) key reason for not using a pool for me.

That explains the low ocean temps - lots of shade out in the gulf.
