The Atlantic hurricane season typically begins June 1 since that's when we start to see sea surface temperatures above 26C (79F), the threshold required for hurricanes to form.
This year, as of May 29, nearly the entire hurricane formation area is already above the threshold (yellow-orange areas).

Given the warmth of recent months, and the current El Niño, 2023 is now virtually certain (>99% likelihood) to become the warmest year ever directly measured.
In addition, 2023 is now very likely (90% chance) to finish at least 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) above our 1850-1900 baseline.
