According to Environment and Climate Change Canada "warming over the 20th century is indisputable and largely due to human activities" [27] adding "Canada's rate of warming is about twice the global rate: a 2° C increase globally means a 3 to 4 °C increase for Canada". [28] ECCC lists impacts of climate change consistent with global changes.
The compounding effects from floods, storm surge, and terrestrial flooding (rivers) are projected to increase due to global warming. [11] There is currently no consensus on how climate change will affect the overall frequency of tropical cyclones. [1] A majority of climate models show a decreased frequency in future projections.

Hurricanes help to maintain the global heat balance by moving warm, moist tropical air to the mid-latitudes and polar regions [5] and also by influencing ocean heat transport. [6] Were it not for the movement of heat poleward (through other means as well as hurricanes), the tropical regions would be unbearably hot.
Nine of this season’s 11 hurricanes rapidly intensified and climbed up the hurricane category scale due to climate change-driven ocean heat. ... caused global warming was intensifying storms ...

With the official end of the 2024 hurricane season on Nov. 30, a new study has found that climate change supercharged 2024's hurricanes and tropical storms − including Tropical Storm Helene that ...
September 21, 1938: The 1938 New England hurricane tracked into Canada, bringing strong winds to eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. Damage was primarily limited to trees and power lines; structural damage was minimal. This storm, along with Hurricane Hazel in 1954, was one of the few hurricanes to cause hurricane-force winds in Canada's interior.
The typical "season" for hurricanes is shifting, as climate warming creates conditions conducive to storms in more months of the year. And hurricanes are also making landfall in regions far ...
