spockvr6 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Heres another one I can never figure out---- Why is the water temperature in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico so much warmer than nearer the coast? The warmest water temp reading (79F) of all the marine buoys I can find in or near FL is 262 miles south of Panama City (East Gulf of Mexico Buoy).

bubba Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Larry,My information comes from Weather Underground under Key West Surf.I also have trouble understanding the Buoy system in South Florida.I have read studies showing that the Eastern edge of the Florida Current is substantially warmer than the Western edge.Buoy's in the Current seem problematic because of the fast moving water and tendency for heavy seas.I am trying with rather limited success to get more information on the Florida Current,particularly near Palm Beach,and would appreciate any help.

spockvr6 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (bubba @ Mar. 14 2008,09:05)QUOTELarry,My information comes from Weather Underground under Key West Surf. OK...this might explain things. The "surf" temps are probably not comparable to the buoy temps. The buoys measure actual water temp at a certain depth, while I believe the "surf" temps are the temps in the very shallow waters (probably literally where it meets the sand)?

spockvr6 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Heres a decent (albeit generalized) chart of FL water temps as of today. One can see rather clearly on this map that the water is warmer on the east coast compared to the west coast at the same lattitude as the gradient lines are at about 45 degree angles.

Tyrone Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 At the moment as we enter winter we have 24C (75F)water temps off of the coast. It's still 28C (84F) down to the 26th parralel. This is much warmer than normal. Winter may get rather weird this year. Best regards Tyrone Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S.

Well I'm at 32S and 75F is real warm then. Supposedly we are meant to have a drier and warmer winter than normal, according to yesterdays long range forecast. I would imagine that the Leeuwin current which travels from the Indonesian islands to South Australia would be really strong this year. The warmer ocean temps can be a two edged sword though. When cold fronts come up from the Antarctic, the extra warm water produces more rain per front, due to the temp difference between ocean and the cold air mass. However when a high pressure zone comes over us, coastal areas will stay warmer at night than normal due to higher ocean temps, whereas inland will remain largely unchanged. I'd imagine day temps would be slightly higher than average in coastal areas too. So, I'll come back in three months and tell you if my predictions are right.

Tyrone Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The ocean temps off the coast are still above average at 20, 21C. Further out they are below average. We have had above average rainfall for the year so far. Our dam levels have not been so high this time in the year, for many years. The watertable has had a lot of water pumped into it. The lakes are full and the drainage basins that normally fill up after heavy rain and dissipate quickly are staying full so far. regards Tyrone Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S.

At many beaches there is underground fresh water entering the ocean and the water comes from high in the mountains where it rains often. Very chilly spots when swimming. In the winter I have seen the ocean as cold as 76f. Don Sanders Donald Sanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darold Petty Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The ocean temp is 55F (13C), the air temp in my garden is 55F (13C) at a distance of 1 mile (1.6km) inland from the beach. The sky is completely overcast with fog so dense and dark that there are no shadows. July and August feature the worst weather here, no direct sunshine for days or weeks at a time; I refer to this as "deep summer" ! Pity the poor tourists in their sleeveless tops and shorts.
