One should be cautious when talking about the earth’s temperature records.
Relative to ‘weather records’ there were scant monitoring stations in the US prior to 1900 and even fewer in massive third-world countries to say nothing about the three-quarters of the earth that is water covered.
In terms of ‘climate history’ we scarcely have a 100-years of ‘data’ and it’s not clear how much of that is valid.

An active 2023 hurricane season comes to a close
Reality: Only one major hurricane made landfall in the U.S. this year
Atlantic hurricane season ends today : NPR
The season was above-normal in terms of activity. That's the fourth-highest number in a single year since 1950.
Seven of these storms turned into hurricanes and three of them became major hurricanes. Only one hurricane made landfall in the U.S. this year. Hurricane Idalia roared ashore on Florida's Gulf coast at the end of August. Although it was a Category 3 storm, damage was limited because it hit a sparsely populated section of the Florida coast.

as discussed in Climate at a Glance: Hurricanes and Climate at a Glance: Global Tropical Cyclones data show no increase in the number or intensity of tropical cyclones since 1972 as the planet has modestly warmed, and, if anything, the intensity of tropical storms has declined.
