Warm water definitely cancels the thermal effect. I have, unfortunately
been spending the summer in North Carolina where the Atlantic water
warms to a balmy 84 deg during the summer. According to the locals, the
early spring is good due to both fronts setting up, and having a thermal
kicker. This thermal effect is all but gone by Aug and Sept where the
differential temperature between the seawater and the interior is only
10 degrees or so...
