Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

Waveland, Miss., is still recovering 20 years after Hurricane Katrina hit
Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Waveland, Miss. A deadly and destructive storm surge nearly 30 feet high washed away the town. Twenty years later, it's still trying to recover.

Barring the ridiculous 2023 & 2024 seasons, the ocean heat content averaged over the Atlantic's Main Development Region (MDR) would be at record high values during the past 2 weeks.
The MDR stretches from Central America to Africa and is the birthplace of the majority of Atlantic major hurricanes.

The season has been abnormally quiet so far, but that can turn around quickly. As of today, the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is at just 28% of average for the date. 2022 actually had an even slower start, but before that, you have to go back to 2009 to find a quieter first 65 days of the season.
