Hurricane Michael charged by very warm Water heads towards Florida

Michael Near Category 3 Strength as it Heads Towards Florida. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are near 29°C (84°F) across the eastern Gulf, which is 1 – 2°C (2 – 4°F) above average for this time of year. Even though it is early October, no cold fronts have yet chilled the waters near the central Gulf Coast, so very warm surface waters are in place to support Michael right up to landfall. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Michael-Near-Category-3-Strength-it-Heads-Towards-Florida Human‐caused climate change is supercharging hurricanes and exacerbating the risk of major damage http://www.climatesignals.org/headlines/events/atlantic-hurricane-season-2018
