Well, this average gulf water temp guide and beach flag information just might give you a little hand! Of course the weather is always unpredictable, but this table below gives you a general idea of what the amazing Siesta Key weather may have in store for your next beach vacation. Air temperatures are moderated year round by Gulf water temperatures, especially on the beach.
In the refrigerator, ground beef, stew meat, and steaks may thaw within a day. Bone-in parts and whole roasts may take 2 days or longer. Once the raw ground beef thaws, it will be safe in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
Change the water every 30 minutes to keep it cold. A 1-pound package of meat may take less than an hour to defrost, while a large piece of meat, such as a whole turkey, will take about 30 minutes per pound. Once defrosted, cook the meat straight away -- don't store it in the refrigerator or refreeze it.
