Wind is the biggest factor in water temperature. When the wind blows from the ocean towards the land, it blows water that has been warmed by the sun towards the beach. When the wind blows from the land towards the ocean, that warm water is push out to sea, and the cold water from underneath rises to take its place at the shore. The warm water is clear because its on the surface, while the cold water that was on the bottom is full of sediment and is a murky brown.

Probably (this is in reference to the underwater temperature readings we provide on the ReefCam pages). The underwater temperature probe we use is reasonably accurate, but we've found that water temperatures in the shallows can vary by several degrees Fahrenheit. Use the number as a relative measure and you'll be fine. Water temperatures at diving depths on Bonaire range from about 77 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit. See similar questions...

The warm-water lobsters are the spiny or rock lobsters found in Florida, the Caribbean and southern California. The true lobster or the North American lobster can be found in the colder waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. The major difference is that the true lobster has large claws full of meat whereas the spiny lobster does not. Meat can only be extracted from the spiny lobster's tail. See similar questions...

When the hot summer sun bakes the earth, the heated ground warms up the pipes that carry water to your home. Unfortunately, this summer phenomenon is a fact of life in the desert. Past experiments with burying water pipes as deep as five feet below the surface showed no appreciable difference in the water temperature. See similar questions...

Sled dogs are amazingly adapted to living and performing in cold climates. They have a thick layer of outer guard hairs that protect against wind and water, and then a dense inner layer of fur similar to wool that acts as insulation. This insulating layer is shed out every summer and then re-grown at the start of winter. In fact, some people spin sled dog fur into yarn and makes hats, pillows, and other items that are extremely soft and warm. See similar questions...

The bath water should be comfortably warm, but not hot. Warm like a baby's bath, but not hot like a hot tub. See similar questions...

The water is warm enough for swimming April through mid-December. In those months, the water temperature ranges from high 70s to mid 80s. In winter, from December to April, it’s too cold for extended swimming without a wetsuit. See similar questions...

NO! In fact, soaking your feet in hot water will most likely burn your skin and do more harm than good. Incidently, your skin takes longer to heal from a burn than from any other tissue insult. See similar questions...

Yes -- a general explanation: Hot water can in fact freeze faster than cold water for a wide range of experimental conditions..[read on] The FORUM ON BEER, HOMEBREWING, AND RELATED ISSUES says " Hot Water freezes faster, yes, it really does."

David: Warm food gives one a false sense of security. One is warmed up or stimulated for a few minutes only to be left cold a short while later. It's like taking a hot shower: Are you more resistant to cold weather if you take hot showers or cold showers? One feels warm after a cold shower, and weak and depleted after a hot shower which drains one's vital energy. I am much more resistant to cold weather now. Stephen: Yes, me too.

It has been found that it is beneficial to impregnate components warm, but check with your sealant supplier first as some methacrylate sealants are more sensitive than others to increased ambient temperatures. See similar questions...

Wear layers of warm clothing, with a wind-proof outer layer. Clothing worn next to the skin should "wick" water (sweat) away from the skin. Examples of this include motorcycle and ski garments. There is an excellent article on layering here. Body-temperature can be regulated with a warm hat, which is easier to adjust than it is to remove or add layers of clothing. See similar questions...

Compressor may not be working or the system may have a leak and has lost the entire refrigerant charge. The automobile may have been overcharged with too much refrigerant. Check to pressures to know whether or not the system has been overcharged. A DURACOOL® pencil gauge or the DURACOOL® low side pressure gauge can be used to check the low side fitting psi. Low side pressure should ideally be in the 28-45 psi range. See similar questions...

There would be far fewer problems and failures if hot plastic was always pulled over a warm or hot mold. When you place hot plastic on a cool or cold mold one side of the plastic is shocked so that the pull is going to be slightly less stable than when it is pulled over a warm or hot mold.
