Original Note:
It's impossible to know if we are having the "hottest weather in over 100,000 years" because there are too few data before 1880 for scientists to estimate average temps for the planet. https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/21/why-does-the-temperature-record-shown-on-your-vital-signs-page-begin-at-1880/#:~:text=The%20oldest%20continuous%20temperature%20record,temperatures%20for%20the%20entire%20planet Water's boiling point is 212°F. The water temp in the Gulf of Mexico reached 97°F. https://apnews.com/article/florida-ocean-heat-climate-coral-record-bfc3010460eb077fc14d53a6f768931d
