✔️ In 2023, for the first time in the history of observations, the strongest category 5 tropical cyclone formed in every oceanic basin.

✔️ Practically every hurricane of this category became a record holder in strength, duration and speed of strengthening, compared to hurricanes of previous years.

✔️ For example, in just 12 hours, Hurricane Otis turned from an ordinary tropical storm into a category 5 hurricane - a hurricane with the most destructive power. One of the reasons for the sudden increase in hurricane strength is the abnormal heating of the ocean. Due to heating, the ocean evaporates more and more moisture enters the atmosphere.

✔️ Since 1995, a rapid increase in moisture content in the atmosphere over the ocean has been recorded.
