This summer I have been keeping my Florida hot tub temperature at 94°F, which is reportedly 7.1 degrees lower than most others.

It’s pleasantly refreshing and usually cooler than both the wet bulb temperature and the bag of water attached to my neurons.

Never been much of an ocean swimmer myself, but I am curious about the heat-enhancing properties of the layer of water where the reading was taken.

I’m headed there now to read the NOAA Coastal Water Temperatures Guide (hot tub, not Manatee Bay) which has an interactive map.
