Real-time data shows the water temperatures underneath Tropical Storm Melissa are 600 times more likely due to climate change.
The analysis is operated by Climate Central, a nonprofit organization that focuses on the science and communication behind climate change.
The organization compares current sea surface temperatures to average, then overlays the current and forecast track of tropical systems.
Melissa is currently a tropical storm southeast of Jamaica and southwest of Haiti. The storm will move over very warm water, around 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and that warm water will be a key piece of the storm's rapid intensification.
Melissa is predicted to rapidly intensify from a tropical storm Friday night, to a major hurricane by Sunday night. Meanwhile, the storm will be drifting toward Jamaica, bringing storm surge, flooding and mudslides.

600% would only be a factor of 6 - they claim 600, so 60,000% !!!
What a joke! At the start of the hurricane season, these people can't tell if any hurricane will even make landfall in the entire U.S. and now they're talking about "real-time data".
Uh huh. Somebody doesn't understand that "peer review" doesn't mean asking other climate activists and journalism majors for an opinion.
Yes, it’s true as measured in feelings. Feelings data sez it’s twoo. Aldo know that every CT weatherman is a homo. As measured in factual proctologist data.
Good luck to you and your claims.
I DO NOT want to be the guy verifying that last!
No sir!
Update.
Looks like Melissa may make a direct hit on Jamaica as a Category 4 or 5.
Since I doubt the UK will be much help to its fellow member of the Commonwealth, I hope the Jamaican government has the White House on speed dial.
We’ll keep Jamaica in our prayers.
