What happen if a hurricane goes back over the water?

If a hurricane travels over land and then goes over water again, what happens depends on the temperature of the water and the winds overhead. If the water is over 78F (26C) and the air in the Stratosphere is moist and not blowing strong, the hurricane will strengthen. Otherwise, it will either remain the same or weaken. If it is north of 40 degrees, it will likely speed up and become extra tropical.
