00:00U.S. government scientists at NOAA and NASA have confirmed what this week's storms are proving in real time.
00:06The Gulf of Mexico is unusually hot, and it is supercharging 2026's storm season.
00:12Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf are running, 2 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit above historical averages.
00:19That gap may sound small, but it acts like rocket fuel for developing storms.
00:25Higher sea temperatures mean more moisture in the atmosphere, more rapid intensification of storms,
00:30and far heavier rainfall events when those storms reach land.
00:35This is the same energy that helped Tropical Storm Arthur rapidly intensify and dump catastrophic rainfall on Texas and Louisiana.
00:44NOAA researchers warn that this warming pattern could persist through October,
00:49keeping tens of millions of Americans across the Gulf Coast, Midwest, and Southeast at elevated risk for months to come.
00:57The science is clear. This is not a normal season.
01:01Prepare accordingly.
01:02The worst of the 2026 storm season may still be ahead.
01:05I am not leaving.
01:05No, I wanna have picked up this training campaby and navigate my fermats.
01:06Next is tomorrow, The resurrected Marama determination and that is the only way to be ahead.
