The Gulf of Mexico reached record heat in the first half of August, setting the stage for an intense hurricane season in a region that is no stranger to devastating storms.
Average temperature data from the Southeast Regional Climate Center from Aug. 1-15 indicated record high temperatures on coastal stations, across an unbroken swath of coast stretching from Matamoros in northeastern Mexico to Miami.

Phillip) The Gulf of Mexico reached record heat in the first half of August, setting the stage for an intense hurricane season in a region that is no stranger to devastating storms.
Average temperature data from the Southeast Regional Climate Center from Aug. 1-15 indicated record high temperatures on coastal stations, across an unbroken swath of coast stretching from Matamoros in northeastern Mexico to Miami.
At the state and municipal level, Tampa and its suburb Ruskin set a single-day temperature record of 100 degrees Sunday, while Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) declared a state of emergency due to the extreme heat Monday.

Is the ocean boiling yet?
They’ve been saying this stuff for over a month now.
And as far as I can tell, it seems like a pretty ho-hum Hurricane season. So how much sense does that make?
The average temperature of Mars is climbing. How many cows and cars are up there?
Yes, it’s hot here on the Gulf Coast in August.
It happens every summer about this time....................
So...RECORD heat in the GoM...what will they say now when the hurricanes don’t come?

I am on the Texas coast very close to the water, so we usually stay in low 90’s while rest of state hits 100+. Of course the humidity is a killer.
Today we did hit 97+ .

All-time record set at Tampa-Ruskin yesterday at 100! 100 beats 99 in 1981 and also beats the August record of 97. Period of record in Ruskin goes back to 1976.
All the way back to 1976! lol
where are the hurricanes then?
Yes....breaking records set in the 1930’s. Must be global warming....
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
That’s correct.
I agree, it’s past time to put it out to pasture!
And remember from a few weeks back? This, too. It’s water vapor and undersea volcanic activity! https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/overheated-friday-july-28-2023-c

Climate change caused a record El-Nino which caused extreme wind shear in the Atlantic basin ripping any tropical systems apart (which it will)
They can’t have it both ways.. but they try
Oddly, the article does not mention global warming as the cause. But then, neither do they mention that the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption of 2022 was expected to heat the plant for several years because of the huge amounts of water vapor, also a greenhouse gas, thrown into the atmosphere.
Fred Thompson once wrote an article that pointed out pretty much the same thing: "Plutonic Warming".
The earth will eventually burn up as it moves closer to the sun.
