This is why Joe Bastardi is my favorite weatherman. He is a strong proponent that ocean bed volcanos heating the ocean water is a main influencer on the weather. This may well be why the summer in my area is hot with severe drought conditions marking a significant departure from previous years. I believe my area is 7 or eight inches below the average rainfall.
I subscribe to WX Bell, Joe admits when he is wrong, but that is not often. I have been following his theory on seismic activity as a contributor to the increase in sea surface temperatures.
