Possibly this means the hurricane season might shift to be later than normal since the ocean will remain warmer? The heat goes into the atmosphere so if the oceans stay warm and the atmosphere cools due to the change of seasons it seems likely there will be a greater temperature differential, which might mean stronger hurricanes. Or the heat just stays in the ocean and does what heat does in the ocean (higher tides since the water swells some? More environmental problems for life in the ocean?)
