Why is my water freezing in Minecraft?

Why is my water freezing in Minecraft? This is because the light level directly adjacent to the water blocks (on all sides) is less than 13. The freezing can happen during any time of day and during any weather too. Additionally, if you’re at an altitude that is high enough for snowfall, water will also freeze into ice in biomes that are this cold.
