How would a supernaturally heated caldera bay affect the local climate?
A supernatural geological event occurred and created a huge caldera-like formation on the coast of a region similar to Scotland. Over time the caldera filled with water and became a bay surrounded by a rim of mountains and a chain of islands in the mouth of the bay.
In the center of the bay, something is producing enough heat to warm the water to mediterranean temperatures (86 °F or 30 °C) while the body of water outside the bay is similar in temperature to the North Sea (52 °F or 11 °C). How would the temperature difference between the area within the bay and the colder region outside of it interact and what sort of weather phenomenon would it cause?
