Usual water temperature is around 28 °C, but the strong currents and sharp thermoclines can occasionally bring it down several degrees.
«After New Orleans, it's becoming clearer that we are experiencing more frequent and more powerful weather events that pose huge challenges for the insurance industry,» said Tim Wagner, director of the Nebraska Department of Insurance, noting that warmer - than -
usual water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico may have added to Hurricane Katrina's strength.

Sightings like Halpin's — that is, dolphins and other creatures like swordfish and loggerhead turtles finding themselves out of their
usual waters — may become more common as ocean
temperatures continue to rise.
«We chose the iconic Great Barrier Reef because
water temperature varies by 8 - 9 degrees along its full length from summer to winter, and because there are wide local variations in pH. In other words, its natural gradients encompass the sorts of conditions that will apply several decades from now under business - as -
usual greenhouse gas emissions.»
Cold stunning occurs when autumn cold fronts move through and chill coastal
water temperatures more quickly than
usual, causing cold - blooded sea turtles to go into hypothermic shock.
September has been much cooler than
usual in San Diego, but at least we were able to capture some surf footage before the sky turned gray and the

In temperate climates strong seasonal waterborne infections like the norovirus, rotavirus, salmonella, campylobacter and — differing from the
usual dogma — influenza are mainly triggered by drinking
water, dependent on the
water's
temperature (in Germany it is at a minimum in February and March and at a maximum in August).
The exposed open
water caused by the wind divergence may absorb some additional sunlight and melt more ice than
usual over the next few weeks (
temperature - albedo feedback)[related NASA animation], but given that the sun is well on its way to setting for the winter, I think this effect will be fairly minimal.
The
usual suspects in a planet made up of gases,
water and rocks is that
temperatures will go up, ice will melt and circulations will change.
Note, for example, how the
temperature trend in the first decade of the 21st century was generally flat because an upward push by anthropogenic forces was temporarily offset by a downward pull as solar activity decreased and the oceans absorbed more heat than
usual from the atmosphere (sea
water temperatures continued to rise).»
For example, the scientific explanation that
temperatures have not risen since 2001 is because an «upward push by anthropogenic forces was temporarily offset by a downward pull as solar activity decreased and the oceans absorbed more heat than
usual from the atmosphere (sea
water temperatures continued to rise)».
To some extent, this is down to a stronger than
usual temperature contrast, with cooler - than - average
water in the North Atlantic to the east of Newfoundland and warmer - than - average
water to the south.
In light of trends showing a likely 3 °C or more global
temperature rise by the end of this century (a figure that could become much higher if all feedback processes, such as changes of sea ice and
water vapor, are taken into account) that could result in sea level rises ranging from 20 to 59 cm (again a conservative estimation), Hansen believes it is critical for scientists in the field to speak out about the consequences and rebuke the spin offered by pundits who «have denigrated suggestions that business - as -
usual greenhouse gas emissions may cause a sea level rise of the order of meters.»
Limiting global warming to 2 - degree rise will require $ 180 / t carbon price says energy think tank (11/13/2008) In a report released Wednesday the International Energy Agency warned that a business - as -
usual approach to energy use would result in a 6 ° - degree rise in
temperatures putting hundreds of millions at risk from reduced
water supplies and diminished agricultural production.
