     • The ocean surface is warm in the tropics—almost like bath water in certain places. When the sea surface is at least 80° Fahrenheit (27° Celsius), it can supercharge a thunderstorm. The storm sucks up that heat and water, which make the storm bigger.

   How does ocean temperature affect a hurricane?

   • The temperature of the ocean is one of the most important factors affecting the formation and intensity of hurricanes. It is the heat energy that is released when water vapor condenses that fuels the formation of a hurricane. The warmer the ocean temperature, the more heat energy is available, and the more intense the hurricane can become.

   How does sea temperature affect a storm?

   • When the sea surface is at least 80° Fahrenheit (27° Celsius), it can supercharge a thunderstorm. The storm sucks up that heat and water, which make the storm bigger. As it grows, air pressure at the center of the storm continues to drop, which causes the vacuum in the middle to grow stronger.

   How do tropical storms affect the environment?

   • Their powerful winds and heavy rains cause billions of dollars of damage each year. Tropical storms require warm ocean waters. Many travel across entire oceans, gaining strength as they go. The ocean plays a huge role in how strong they eventually become. When a thunderstorm forms, heat causes air to warm and expand.

   How does a storm affect weather?

   • The storm sucks up that heat and water, which make the storm bigger. As it grows, air pressure at the center of the storm continues to drop, which causes the vacuum in the middle to grow stronger. More warm water is added to the storm, causing more clouds to build, more rainfall, and faster winds.

   How does the ocean affect a thunderstorm?

   • The ocean plays a huge role in how strong they eventually become. When a thunderstorm forms, heat causes air to warm and expand. It rises up into the atmosphere. This creates low pressure at the earth’s surface, like a vacuum, that draws in air from surrounding areas. That air keeps feeding the vacuum, adding more water vapor to the growing clouds.

   Why are ocean temperatures so hot?

   • So far, our oceans have soaked up over 90% of the heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by rising greenhouse gas emissions. But recently, their rate of warming has been dramatic. Every day since late March 2023, global ocean surface temperatures have set new records for the hottest temperature ever recorded on that date.

   Mar 10, 2020 · Hurricanes are fueled by heat in the top layers of the ocean and require sea surface temperatures (SSTs) greater than 79 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius) to form and thrive. Since 1995 there have been 17 above-normal Atlantic hurricane seasons, as measured by NOAA’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Index.
