Hi Erik & All, Sept 4, 2012
That may be so but why the sudden change ? Does the Corioilis Effect =
have most of the summer off ?
Bay of Fundy water, at beach level, is usually colder in summer than =
South or Eastern Shore water.

Subject: [NatureNS] Sea water temperature
I have been swimming in my St Margarets Bay cove daily when possible =
for up to 35-40 minutes at a time all summer every year for several =
decades and this year have found the water temperature to be wonderfully =
warm, but yesterday, despite no significant or prolonged change in =
weather temperatures, we discovered to our great surprise and dismay =
that the water was bone-chillingly, frigidly cold and we could not swim =
at all. Later yesterday, while out sailing with some friends who had =
just returned to NS after several months of sailing, I was most =
interested to learn that they had noted a striking drop in water =
temperature (from approx 20 degrees to 12 degrees) while rounding Cape =
Breton a few days ago, en route for Halifax. I told them my experience =
and we all agreed we had never seen such a startling and rapid sea water =
temperature change before.
Any suggestions as to what could bring this about will be most =
welcome!
