What air temperatures would you expect in the parts of the world which are part of the sea/the ocean? (warmest, averages)

Here's the Titanic crash site. When you keep in mind that it's already October and that icebergs could be found there during the winter, it's pretty warm there. https://darksky.net/41,-49

In my altered Earth, I'd be living here.

The remarkable thing here is how quickly the SSTs decrease with latitude at this point -- the effect of the gulf stream. For instance, it becomes 10 C cooler in only four degrees of latitude: https://darksky.net/44,-49

Imagine what would have happened if the Titanic had sunk a few degrees further south? Possibly many more people would have survived?

Correction: I think you meant "three degrees of latitude."

It wouldn't have hit an iceberg in the first place if it was 3-4 degrees further south!

[ChesterNZ]

Correct, sorry! Even so, that represents a distance of more than 300 km.

Half way between Los Angeles and Tokyo. I wonder if the climate is more Mediterranean or more humid subtropical.

I think that Darksky is a good tool for my pet project of moving continents around.

You're welcome

For Darksky is there any way of getting average figures for the past year or so at any random spot?
