winds are the issue not the heat

No matter how hot it is down below the surface if the winds are strong at the surface they will blow any chance of out of season tropical storms away like bubbles a child is blowing into a strong wind...

The issue is not the heat but the air currents that make or break a storm.

You can't just turn up the heat.. you have to have the right conditions aloft.
So..keep watching the atmosphere. It is why we call it Atmospheric Science.. the other one is Oceanography.

Watching the Caribbean just now.. with one eye on the frontal boundaries.
