Buoys apparently malfunction all the time; just yesterday a buoy in the eastern GOM read a dewpoint of a whopping -10, messing up all the dewpoint contour maps...

It's obvious what happened. This rouge pod of whales is composed of Whale politicians, and the air that was expelled from their blowholes was so hot and so dry that it skewed the buoy's dewpoint readings.

It's true because I said so.
