It's time for a house cleaning at NOAA. In order for more intense hurricanes and storms to be able to form the air at midlevels of the atmosphere must be
cooler, not warmer. The reason is rising air is what creates storms. This rising air is caused by cooler air aloft. A warm parcel of air at the surface is of a lower density than cooler air aloft, therefore it rises and takes moisture with it. When this condition is true, storms often develop if there is sufficient moisture present. If the air aloft is warmer, little to no vertical movement of the air parcels occurs and the atmosphere is considered "stable".
This article shows an embarrassing ignorance of how the atmosphere works and storms occur....

Im in fire ravaged California and it was over 100 degrees today. Just like every other summer we have had for last God knows how many years. I can't remember the last forest fire we had in Manhattan.

It’s not done yet and I don’t think I’ll let it go without a fight, although at times, I am tempted to follow the same route. ;)
