Where I am in the SE has been pretty warm this summer - in contrast with 3 or 4 fairly cool past summers.

More heat = more likely to have hurricanes. My opinion only.

Note, that I didn't attribute the heat to Global Warming, or Cooling, or whatever. It's July in NC, and it's hot. Imagine that.

Warm water and the absence of wind shear means hurricanes. Wind shear is a very important factor.
