Hurricane Milton's swift intensification from a tropical storm to Category 5 reflects alarming ocean temperature trends, highlighting the dire impacts of climate change.
The record heat observed in the Gulf, penetrating deeper waters, adds significant energy to hurricanes, contributing to the rapid intensification and power of storms like Milton.
Veteran meteorologist John Morales’ emotional reaction emphasizes the severity of current climate conditions, stating, 'The seas are just so incredibly, incredibly hot. Record hot as you might imagine.'
With Hurricane Milton downgraded to a Category 4, the storm's surge remains a critical threat, projected to impact coastal areas with significant damage.
