It was already bad when the sea surface temperature was well over 90 degrees Fahrenheit last week, but…over 100?

FYI that’s hot tub hot, as this other article notes: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/hot-tub-water-temperatures-florida-soar-100-degrees-stunning-experts-rcna96163
This might be record-breaking. In the worst sense possible.

Thats ~37C°
More like ~38°C. 101.1°F is 38.4°C
I think 37°C is 98.6°F, i.e. normal human body temperature. This is, somehow, hotter. But the sea being even near this temperature is…a problem.
