SST'S and Anomalies in Atlantic and Pacific

[x-y-no]

Look how much warmer the gulf is compared to last year. This doesn't look good at all.

NW Caribbean and the Florida coastal area & Bahamas also a lot warmer than last year.

OTOH, south and east Caribbean and the MDR are cooler than last year.

now i know why u call urself EVIL jeremy LOL but ur probably right

[cycloneye]

remind me what the forecast calls for? 17 storms from earlier in the month? i wonder what the numbers will be next month! in any case, FL is gonna get scrwed again this year. and if this really are the temps now, imagine what they will be come June 1st!!!

It was Philip J. Klotzbach/ Dr Gray April forecast

i knew that, but looking at these temps, their numbers are probaly going to go up! cuba is already engulphed in hurricane season sea temps, and were only in the end of April!!!

That is a little disturbing

[Evil Jeremy]

which means that the Gulf of Mexico is in for it (again) this year.

How do you calculate Celcius into Farenheit?

It just doesn't mean a whole lot. 2001 was also a warm year in the Gulf and there wasn't even a hurricane landfall in the GOM. That area doesn't really have any climate signals... it is next to impossible to predict because it isn't linked as closely as the E Coast is to tropical Atlantic SSTs. The GOM is always warm in the season.. whether it is 85 or 90 really doesn't matter (look at the westpac). It needs the right steering and at this point.. who knows. A cooling eastern part of the ENSO seems to help as well but that is a qualitative assessment.

Take the temp. in Celsius (25 for example) and divide it by 5 (=5). Then, multiply the number by 9 and add 32. (5x9 = 45 + 32 = 77F)
Hope this is clear.

[HurricaneHunter914]

Very clear. Thank you.

But, in 2001 the rest of the Atlantic was below normal.

whether it is 85 or 90 really doesn't matter (look at the westpac).

Typhoon Tip, Forest, and a few other "Super" Typhoons sure liked the warm waters when they bombed. So did Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.

32C would be 89.6F right?

[HurricaneHunter914]

Yup, just checked it.

After June the SSTs were about .2-.4C above average in the tropical Atlantic. Thus it really wasn't a below normal SST year. Now they were in April but that didn't last.

Cat 5 Isabel was over water that was about 28C or 82F. That's all you need to get a ridiculously strong hurricane. This loop current stuff is overblown in my opinion. The atmosphere allows the storms to get strong.. any SST effects are second-order as long as it is above about 27.5C-28C. There is about 1/3 to 1/2 as much heat content north of Puerto Rico where the maximum in MH frequency is rather than over the loop current of the Gulf of Mexico.

You think this is the reason why our oceans are so warm?!
