30°C+ This May in the UAE.

After leaving the pool the Persian/Arabian Gulf felt like a whirlpool.

Not like I had a thermometer lol so idk how accurate but felt like the mid 80s. Swimming in Miami during summer. I'm the kinda guy that prefers colder air in general, but for swimming, warm water.

40 C is exactly how a hot tub should be, so that's fine. Also for showering, I like the water hot enough to where it's like a few degrees before burning lol it's a perfect balance.
