A buoy near Manatee Bay recorded an astounding 101.1-degree water temperature Monday, a temperature common for hot tubs.

    But 100 degrees is boiling! /s

    I had hopes that I would not experience US defaultism on the fediverse, but alas.

    Edit: to be clear, I did not expect a conversion to celcius, just F displayed as the unit.

      You’d be surprised how many people can’t read Celcius very well in the US. I’m one of those people and as an adult I’m still looking for a good way to leisurely learn it. My school was never even shown Celcius unless we took chemistry in high school and the teacher had more fun belittling people for not knowing chemistry than he did with actually teaching chemistry.

        For a rough estimate, double the Celsius temp and add 32 to get Fahrenheit. Subtract 32 and divide by 2 to go from Fahrenheit to Celsius. If you want an accurate conversion multiply by 9/5 instead of 2.

          Thanks - Appreciated. I recall that equation from chemistry class but the mental math can be difficult on the fly.
