I agree - the water is absolutely freezing right now I think that we've currently got the lows and soon we'll have the maximum averages of 84F.

The downside of warm water is that the latent heat energy is transformed into big tropical storms in autumn - in other words, hurricanes. It is hard to believe how much energy is hidden in these warm waters. A major tropical revolving storm uses the energy in less than a degree of water temperature (but sucked out of many square miles area and many feet of water depth).
