We investigate tropical cyclone (TC) activity and intensity within a 100 km radius of Bermuda between 1955 and 2019. The results show a more easterly genesis over time and significant increasing trends in TC intensity (maximum wind speed (Vmax)) with a decadal Vmax median value increase of 30 kts from 33 to 63 kts (r= 0.94, p= 0.02), together with significant increasing August, September, October sea surface temperature (SST) of 1.1 C (0.17 C per decade) r= 0.4 (p< 0.01) and increasing average ocean temperature between 0.5 C and 0.7 C (0.08 C–0.1 C per decade) r= 0.3 (p< 0.01) in the depth range 0–300 m. The strongest correlation is found between TC intensity and ocean temperature averaged through the top 50 m ocean layer (
