Though hurricanes strenthen when moving over warmer water, this is merely due to the fact that the horizontal temperature gradient of the atmosphere is not as steep, i.e. the temperature differential between the water and the atmosphere increases as the storm hits tropical waters; it is not the ocean temperature per se that drives the hurricane.

There is some discussion over what effect greenhouse warming will have on ocean currents, particularly the Gulf Stream, which warms Europe with tropical water.

With a rise in the overall temperature of the ocean, ocean - borne storms such as tropical storms and hurricanes, which get their fierce and destructive energy from the warm waters they pass over, could increase in force.

Extratropical cyclones are distinct from tropical cyclones, which are generally smaller and more intense, and, as their name implies, originate over relatively warm water in the tropics.

I suspect that 3 - year La Niña lasted so long because there was so much warm water in the western tropical Pacific (that was left over from the 1997/98 El Niño) that the tropical Pacific simply got stuck in La Niña mode until the warm water was distributed and dissipated.
