question: Dinosaurs lived in a world that was much warmer, with more oxygen than now, what was weather like? More violent? Hurricanes, tornadoes? Some articles talk about the asteroid impact, but not about what normal life was like for the dinos. (and not necessarily "hurricanes", but great storms)
comment: **TL;DR:** *Oxygen, not so much. But the supercontinents back then could really have amplified weather conditions.* \--- The level of oxygen wasn't really that much of a factor. Oxygen levels were higher because plants were sucking all of the carbon dioxide out of the air and trapping the carbon into coal and oil at the time while breathing out oxygen and raising the levels up to about 30%. (It's 21% or so now). That much higher level would have made fires way more dangerous in dry areas like grasslands with lots of fuel. Large fires can contribute some to weather, but they usually don't amplify storms in general. The biggest influence was continental structure. We had two different supercontinent-type land formations back then, Pangaea around 300 million years ago broke into two big chunks, Laurasia and Gondwana, during the time of the dinosaurs. Now very generally speaking, the more you pack land into one area and ocean into the other, the greater the general impact on weather... and with supercontinents leaving gigantic stretches of ocean pretty much wide open, you're going to get this to happen. This is because hurricanes feed off of warmer water and shrink when they cross land, and when there's more warm water, there's bigger hurricanes or typhoons (and this is why Pacific storms are often larger than Atlantic ones). Other storms can get amplified too. Nor'easters (the big storms we get here on the NorthEastern coast of North America) build off of differences in air pressure which are caused by differences in heat level. . Larger masses of solar-heated continuous land mean greater regional heating, and that can translate to differences in regional pressure colliding with each other and generating much more powerful localized storms. There's a number of other factors including sea depth (shallower seas warm up more), mountains that deflect currents of air, ocean currents (that help to convey warm and cold weather and equalize temperatures), and distribution of land versus water at the equator where the most solar energy is focused. All of this stuff is why it's hard to talk about specifics back then. But in general, you could expect to get truly massive storms crossing over the coasts of the supercontinents in this altered world. (made a few edits for completeness and to correct one error)

   Paleotempestology records mostly record activity during the Holocene and tend to record mainly catastrophic storms as these are the ones most likely to leave evidence. In addition, there has been little effort in making comprehensive databases of paleotempestological data or in attempting regional reconstructions from local results.

presuppositions: Higher amounts of oxygen during the times of the dinosaurs caused violent weather conditions.
corrections: Oxygen levels were not much of a factor in violent weather conditions, but were caused by the supercontinent land formations and gigantic stretches of ocean.
