Nowadays, all kinds of extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and wildfires, can be linked to climate change. Hurricanes are no exception. Scientists have found that rising temperatures are causing more powerful and more unpredictable storms. This is a worrying situation because hurricanes are already one of the world’s most deadly and destructive extreme weather events.
Climate change will increase the damage by causing sea levels to rise, making it more likely that severe storm surges and coastal flooding will occur. In addition, as the Earth’s temperature increases due to climate change, the air will be able to hold more water, so there will be more rain from storms. All of these factors will increase the likelihood of flooding from hurricanes.
Hurricanes are becoming more powerful and unpredictable, but in recent years, the accuracy of predictions about the paths and intensity of hurricanes has improved. With the improved prediction capabilities of the forecast by supercomputers and artificial intelligence, authorities will be able to more accurately predict storms and have more time to prepare for them.
