I'm seeing 89.2 in Key Largo at my favorite water temp site - and 87 in Miami. It's bad (2 degrees above normal) - I'm not minimizing - but it's not what they're citing in the article of 97 degrees.
 
You can blame the temperatures on inaccurate CNN reporting all you want. Take a quick Google search, and you will have a choice of a dozen or so sources saying roughly the same thing. They aren't making it all up.
 
MUCH more reputable and convincing. Thanks. I'm left wondering why the huge discrepancy between the site I use - which is usually within a half degree or so of my dive computer (which may or may not be accurate, but I'd hope it's not this far off). A six degree difference is significant.

This one says Pennekamp is 88.5.

 
82.5° last week on the bottom off Tampa Bay in 60ft on July 2nd.

Here is a nearby area on July 19, 2019. 85°.

I'd like to hear from divers. American media is about as reliable as Mexican tap water.
 
Source bashing aside, the ocean is getting warmer, coral is dying, and the eco-system will eventually collapse.

Yeah, I'm in a bad mood.
An interesting observation here is I have seen an abundance of S Florida tropicals not normally seen here. Some speculate Ian pushed them up here, but I suspect the environment is changing and perhaps the Gulf Coast reefs will begin to look like those in the Keys and S. Florida. So while maybe some areas are dying, new areas are growing.

You need to be IN the water instead of talking about it ... :wink:
