Shallow waters off south Florida topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours on Monday, potentially setting a new world record with temperatures more commonly associated with hot tubs.

Shallow waters off south Florida topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8C) for several hours on Monday, potentially setting a new world record with temperatures more commonly associated with hot tubs.​ The readings were taken from a single buoy in Manatee...

The Mediterranean Sea reached its highest temperature on record Monday during an exceptional heatwave, Spanish researchers said. "We attained a new record... in the daily median sea surface temperature of the Mediterranean: 28.71ᵒC," Spain's Institute of Marine Sciences said. "The last record was in August 23, 2003 with a median value of 28.25ᵒC," it added.…
