Hurricane Beryl is now category 4 strength, the earliest such storm in recorded history. This season is going to be bonkers with the combination of stupendously hot waters and La Niña

How does it physically happen? Does hot water punch up then break through the cold causing it to dump form quickly?

Hurricanes aren't real globetard. Where are you getting potential vortcity from to excite the baroclinic instability if the earth is stationary and flat?

Wow, Beryl beat a 19 year old record by about a week. So impressive.

First of all, yes, beating that record by a whole week would in fact be very impressive by itself.
Secondly, Beryl is now even Cat 5, and beat the earliest other Cat 5 (Emily 2005) by not just one but two weeks.
Third, that season we are comparing it to, 2005, was an outlier by itself, having the highest number of hurricanes of any season on record.
