You misunderstood me. I know winds aloft have a lot to do with formation and not just SST's. I meant the caribbean cooling down as in all the activity. Let me put it this way; in sports when a player is on a streak, what do they say? He is hot! Thats what i mean about the caribbean; all the activity, man o man is the caribbean hot right now! Not hot as in the SST's. Just wanted to clarify. The cooling down i mentioned in my first post was pertaining to all the activity - not the water.
