This week in data:
The amount of heat stored in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico has reached record levels this month amid an unprecedented marine heatwave.
These temperatures, themselves made 200-500 times more likely by climate change, played a key role in causing the hurricanes devastating the US this year to be more intense, according to a new study covered by Carbon Brief.
The hurricanes Helene and Milton, which struck the US within two weeks of each other, were made more powerful by passing over the gulf, due to the hotter ocean water passing more energy to the storms and making them intensify more quickly.
