The North Atlantic has claimed a new title as the global hotspot for hurricane clusters, with the likelihood of these forming increasing tenfold in the past 46 years. A new study provides the first robust quantification of how the Earth's warming patterns are shifting where these

Scientists have known climate change is increasing the severity of hurricanes for years now, but new research suggests it’s also leading to tropical cyclone clusters.

The longstanding hurricane rating system, the Saffir-Simpson Scale, only takes into account sustained wind speeds and not the full devastating impact of a hurricane.

Extreme rainfall in New Zealand from future cyclones could rise by up to 35%. New high-resolution modeling predicts that rainfall from tropical cyclones will significantly increase under global warming.

Hurricane - The term for tropical cyclones in either the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins which have maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph.

"The proportion of intense tropical cyclones (categories 4-5) is expected to increase at the global scale with increasing global warming," the WMO said in 2022, a message reiterated many times since.
