Because of human-caused climate change, the most intense hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are forming earlier than they used to.
. Warming ocean waters, boosted by human-caused climate change, are thought to be a primary driver of the trend, which has both forecasting and societal implications.The study defined “intense tropical cyclones” as hurricane, typhoons and other tropical systems having maximum sustained winds over 127 mph — essentially a high-end Category 3 hurricane or worse.
Intense tropical cyclones are disproportionately responsible for the overwhelming majority of economic and human losses associated with tropical systems.The increasing tendency of intense tropical cyclones earlier in the season is of particular concern because it predisposes them to have a greater risk of causing serious flooding, the study authors assert.
