A recent study led by Dr. Paul-Arthur Monerie from the University of Reading predicts intensified hurricane activity in the next decade due to climate change. Utilizing advanced climate-prediction technology from the Met Office, researchers found that the frequency of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic could double from 1970s levels, while the eastern Pacific may see a one-third increase. Storm energy is also set to rise significantly. Rising ocean temperatures and wind pattern changes are contributing to these developments, highlighting the urgent need for improved infrastructure and preparedness in vulnerable regions.
Preparing for the predicted onslaught of hurricanes will require more resilient building techniques and improved drainage in threatened coastal communities, as well as clear evacuation procedures and public education campaigns.
A new study forecasts that the average number of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic could more than double compared to 1970s levels, while energy levels of storms may increase to twice that.
