A study of 2020's storms of at least tropical storm-strength concluded that human-induced climate change increased extreme 3-hourly storm rainfall rates by 10%, and extreme 3-day accumulated rainfall amounts by 5%, and for hurricane-strength storms the figures increased to 11% and 8%. [35]
The first working group report of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report – published in 2021 – assessed that the global occurrence of rapid intensification likely increased over the preceding four decades (during the period of reliable satellite data), with "medium confidence" in this change exceeding the effect of natural climate variability and thus stemming from anthropogenic climate change.
During the 1998 season, 10 of the 14 named storms reached hurricane strength and three reached major hurricane - Category 3 or higher - status. The two most significant storms of the season were ...
Tropical cyclogenesis is extremely rare in the far southeastern Pacific Ocean, due to the cold sea-surface temperatures generated by the Humboldt Current, and also due to unfavorable wind shear; as such, Cyclone Yaku in March 2023 is the only known instance of a tropical cyclone impacting western South America.
A new report estimates total economic and damage loss from the Atlantic hurricane season at a shocking $500 billion Hurricanes ravaged the U.S. this year and caused $500 billion in damage and ...
5 major hurricanes (winds of 111 miles per hour or greater) One of the most intense hurricanes was Hurricane Beryl, which set records for being the earliest Category 5 storm in the Atlantic on record.
The calculation originated as the Hurricane Destruction Potential (HDP) index, which sums the squares of tropical cyclones' maximum sustained winds while at hurricane strength, at least 64 knots (≥ 119 km/h; 74 mph) [4] at six-hour recorded intervals across an entire season. [5]
Last year, the number of billion-dollar climate disasters was even higher, with 28 events reported. Damage from the 2023 disasters totaled $92.9 billion. Damage from the 2023 disasters totaled $92 ...
