But uh, you know, key tropical ingredients, we need abundant moisture in the atmosphere.
Can't have a hurricane without a whole bunch of moisture.
We need water temperatures around, if not above, eighty degrees, um, in the Atlantic Caribbean Gulf.
So now Saharan dust, when that becomes a part of the equation.
sunlight can't penetrate as much, especially when it's a thick plume of Saharan dust.
Um it will behave very much like cloud cover.
And then uh drier air overall is just taking away from one of the key ingredients, moisture.
Um so we can actually see some sunlight getting reflected back into the upper parts of the atmosphere.
That means less sunlight.
is not gonna cook the uh sea surface temperatures or the ocean as much as it tends to.
Um, which isn't, you know, the sole reason why sea surface temperatures are average, if not even a little below average across the Atlantic right now.
Um, but it's certainly helping.
Interesting.
These are all some fun facts I did not know.
Uh at least the the specifics there, which is pretty cool to know.
Um and you know, and again, not gonna completely credit Sahara Dust here, but wouldn't be surprised if that's you know part of the the high pocket of wind shear that we have traversing the Atlantic, working its way over the next few days towards the Caribbean.
Uh so that's also part of what is, you know, keeping things nice and quiet.
Um, and it is interesting, like you said, with with promoting downdrafts and uh locally when we have that like pocket of drier air uh aloft, what we can see is some locally stronger storms, not necessarily tropical systems, but like our day to day thunderstorms can actually be enhanced a little bit.
Um, and we can see
More lightning, so on and so forth.
