good thinking neti.

I think another factor throwing out current ocean temperature numbers not being accounted for and hence askew readings are resulting.

Submerged volcanoes have increased in a number of areas, which in turn are cranking up the heat of the water more so than normal.

If the heat of the water is crancked up a bit then I guess the point of evaporation is reached faster than it normaly would be, which in turn will no doubt increase the speed of the cycle further!

Now as this happens TD´s are more likely to form in areas we are not used to seeing and the instensity of these storms in other areas also intensifies.

The hurricanes are brought about by nature to cool the water by turning and agitating the water with enormous force and size, so to cover as larger area and penetrate as deep as needed to cool the water back down.

I bet the temps in the gulf droped substantialy after the hurricane.

Now we have a hurricane traveeling up the east coast to cool down the downstream currents.

There are many more factors to the cycle equation of nature.

she always wants BALANCE.
