Every once in awhile they get cyclones, but they are very rare

we're working on it





decided to go to the good ol' wikipedia. Data is from 1947 - 2021

The data is "recognized tropical-like cyclones" in the med, which I think means things from tropical depressions on up? maybe even weaker than that?

Yep, that's pretty much it.
I was trapped for a bit on the island of Elba (ya I know) in like 2007 and there was a really nasty storm that looked like a tropical one I saw in Costa Rica later. the eucalyptus trees handled it really well though.

how the hell can ocean water be 30 C (86 freedom)?

Dr. Kyle Farnsworth

The gulf is relatively shallow, 17,000 feet or so at its deepest part. The Atlantic averages about 12,000 feet. But that's average. For comparison.

Think of the Gulf like a bathtub and the Atlantic or Pacific like a swimming pool.

It's basically a lot of shallow water and it's been really hot here. One of the interesting things we saw with Zeta and Ida and the more recent hurricanes is...it used to be that hurricanes got weaker overnight as the water cooled down. However, the last several have gained strength and speed because the Gulf stays so warm overnight and it doesn't cool down enough to be bad for hurricanes like it used to. It's one of the reasons I wanted to get off the coast, hurricanes are no longer playing by the rules I know. Another example is they used to weaken once they started pushing ashore but now they keep picking up strength until a lot more of them is over land because the water is so warm.

So basically the air/ambient temperature has been touching 100 during the day and cooling down to 85 at night. Water is relatively slow to heat up but since the air never cools down and the seas are warmer, that energy stays around and, as we say around here, lmao.

Even looking at New Orleans now it's got some rain moving through but I'd still staying around 80-85 so nothing ever gets to cool down.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
They also get strong over land because it's hot as hell and rains all the time and get a brown ocean effect sometimes lol. It's uh, not great.

Yeah I got to be a climate refugee fleeing Ida and our evac went as well as it could possibly have gone and I went "okay I am never doing this again because that was the absolute best case and it was still miserable, nope, that was *it*".

Is that gonna then track back up the coast and cause dry lightning storms over the whole of California, setting so many fires firefighters have to choose which ones to focus on?

That particular spot has been a tropical nursery for some time now. It's also a "power-up zone" for any hurricane or tropical system that travels over it.

I was complaining to a friend a few months ago that I kept getting phantoms in the forecasts a week or so out, and as the date approached, conditions invariably resolved as more mild.

Well the one week I voiced this complaint, the forecast was more or less accurate and it was a minor disaster.

Oops.
