What are weather temps needed to sustain a tropical depression?

not specifically a hurricane but if someone would like to break it down i would be really appreciative..

for....say tropical disturbance, depression, storm and of course... a HURRICANE

this morning i believe Key West was around 79, what with the heat ridge over Cuba and ongoing HOT weather, should be climbing very unseasonably fast
