“the waters are not only warmer but the depth of that warm water is deeper....” Those darn anomalies: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/ocean/cdas-sflux_ssta_relative_global_1.png
“and going into night has nothing to do with the winds not increasing..” Ya right, when the Sun comes up, Hurricanes intensify. When the Sun goes down, they weaken. Only been happening since we have been able to monitor such events. I might even go out on a limb and say, since the beginning of time.
you are wrong and wrong
those are anomalies.as in departure from normal..not actual water temperatures...
and tropical systems aren’t like thunderstorms in the plains over land.all other things equal they actually strengthen at night .....this period is known as DMAX
Dmax: Diurnal Maximum is an intense flare up at convection just before sunrise and DMIN is the opposite. Dmax occurs just before sunrise when the differences in temperatures between the ocean and the air are the greatest; helps to create instability and convection
