The gulf has a current water temperature of 86 degrees. Anything 81 or over causes the wind speed to increase.
Thank goodness for the pacific ocean being in the 50s and 60s.

Re: The Weather is Crazy
Hurricane Helene is now upgraded to a Cat 4 hurricane, and it isn't close to shore yet. Sustained winds of 130 mph. Another thing happening is extreme flash flooding, especially in North Carolina. Expect Atlanta to have sever flooding. The hurricane isn't expected to weaken before landfall. More likely it will intensify.
