A Bad Hurricane Season May Be Coming

Fair warning to any of my friends who are living the Southern US, along the Atlantic coast, or in the Caribbean. This could be a very bad year for hurricanes. The climatologists are worried, maybe even scared. "Whether hurricane season lives up to this year’s hype is to be seen, but with 90% of the tropical belt immersed in record or near record warm waters, the Atlantic powder keg awaits its first spark."

The article cites several reasons for the worry:

  • There is record ocean heat in both the Atlantic and Caribbean.
  • South Florida is feeling record heat.
  • If the heat persists, rapid intensification could be a threat.
The sea surface temperature graph is rather scary.
