Sea-surface temperatures in much of the tropical AtlanticBut another factor that's counteracting the warm water for now is widespread dry air. This dry air is one of the reasons why the Atlantic has been mostly quiet since the final advisory was written for Tropical Storm Don three weeks ago.
Dry, sinking air disrupts tropical systems by suppressing thunderstorms and strengthening downdrafts of storms that are able to form. That prevents thunderstorms from persisting long enough near a surface low-pressure center in order to keep the storm healthy.These areas being watched for development are a reminder that we are heading into the heart of the hurricane season.
