Well, NOAA does not attribute a higher number of hurrricanes forecast to Donald Trump but he has certainly raised the temperature here on Planet Earth more than any other person, hasn’t he?
This May, ocean heat in the main area where hurricanes develop has been as high as it usually is in mid-August. “That’s crazy,” University of Miami tropical meteorology researcher Brian McNoldy.McNoldy said. It’s both record warm on the ocean surface and at depths, which “is looking a little scary.”
McNoldy said he wouldn’t be surprised to see storms earlier than normal this year as a result. Peak hurricane season usually is mid-August to mid-October with the official season starting June 1 and ending Nov. 30.
