Cool water, high pressure, sinking air, dry air, unfavorable upper winds. Everything is anti-hurricane, and the values are about as anti-hurricane as he's seen in decades. One place that isn't so unfavorable is the Gulf of Mexico. Have to watch for close-in development this year.
Then so much for all of the global warming doomsayers about the increase in hurricanes because of global warming....Guess there's no global warming after all.....If the globe was indeed heating up, then so would be the oceans and so would be the tropical activity..True there are other conditions, but there would still be more tropical disturbances due to the "hot water"....
