It's not just climate change: two little-known reasons why the Atlantic is so darn hot

Global air temperature rise is not only due to climate change but also the ocean's absorption capacity. The Atlantic's increased heat, explaining early season heat, is influenced by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation.

The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation naturally oscillates sea-surface temperatures, affecting hurricane season intensities. Warm phases like the current one amplify severe hurricane occurrences, noticeable since 1995.
