Swimming in the sea here on the south coast of Devon yesterday under
endless blue sky and hot sun, it seems that the sea has warmed
considerably over the last week or so and the pool of cooler water
which was hogging the coastline from Dartmouth to the Isle of Wight
has vanished being replaced by sea temps at least a couple of degrees
warmer.


The local paper reported last week that the sea temp of 19 C at 4.5m at
Weymouth measured by DEFRA was the highest in their 20 year record,
beating the previous highest 18.3 C of last August.

Tom
