water temperature
How hot baths are
Water temperature is the measure of heat in a body of water, whether an ocean, pool, bathtub, or aquarium.
It matters for swimming comfort, marine life survival, and brewing coffee or tea properly.
Check the water temperature before getting in.
Weather reports often include ocean or lake water temperatures for swimmers and boaters.
