   The Mediterranean Sea is the one (and only?) with the temperature which   
   is far away from the modal temperature.   
   It's enclosed tiny entrance through the Straights of Gibraltar / The   
   Gates of Heracles.  The global ocean currents don't feature inside.   
   We know here in Cornwall - the Navy had a couple of supply ships built   
   for them, and that Pacific Ocean nation didn't know that.   
      
   -----------------------------------   
      
   That's surprising, naval stories from the Pacific mention 80F ocean   
   temperatures. Shipwreck survivors could survive floating for days. Google AI   
   claims 25-30C.   
      
   The first colonists here expected climate similar to European latitudes and   
   were rudely, sometimes lethally surprised by the much wider extremes.
