The waters of the Atlantic Ocean have been abnormally warm, providing copious amounts of energy that can intensify storms.

    Thanks for the map, but it is, more or less.

    The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the coastal areas of the East Coast of the United States from Florida to southeast Virginia (near 36°N latitude), and to a greater degree, the climate of Northwest Europe. A consensus exists that the climate of Northwest Europe is warmer than other areas of similar latitude at least partially because of the strong North Atlantic Current.

      Yes, but that’s very different from saying “I can discern an change in behavior of European weather based on what this storm did”
