#Nicole is almost a hurricane. But on infrared satellite, it doesn't look so impressive. Here's a thought: at 26°N, the tropopause height is lower in Nov than in Aug-Sep when we're used to looking at hurricanes. The cloud tops won't be as cold because they can't get as high. 🧐 pic.twitter.com/DTflbEjdBw
