The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued its most alarming hurricane forecast to date, predicting an unprecedented number of hurricanes for the 2024 season. #HurricaneSeason2024 #ClimateChange #NOAAPredictions https://ow.ly/MeTz50RTF0X

Hurricane Beryl just caused destruction across parts of the Caribbean, Yucatán Peninsula, and the Gulf Coast of the US, and set a new record as the earliest-forming Category 5 hurricane (in the Atlantic). According the UN’s climate body, the IPCC this is the sign of an alarming trend. Climate change is affecting hurricanes. Check out this BBC article by Mark Poynting on how rising temperatures are affecting these storms in several measurable ways… https://lnkd.in/gwaeEVwe #risingtemperatures #HurricaneBeryl #greenhousegasemissions

Another reminder of the devastating affects of climate change. We could see up to 21 hurricanes this season. This is on top of the catastrophic fires that continue to destroy ecosystems and lives. #climateemergency #climatecrisis #hurricaneseason #hurricaneseason2023 #hurricanedamage https://lnkd.in/gqGMWVsd

"Hurricanes are becoming so strong due to the climate crisis that the classification of them should be expanded to include a “category 6” storm, furthering the scale from the standard 1 to 5, according to a new study. Over the past decade, five storms would have been classed at this new category 6 strength, researchers said, which would include all hurricanes with sustained winds of 192mph or more. Such mega-hurricanes are becoming more likely due to global heating, studies have found, due to the warming of the oceans and atmosphere." https://lnkd.in/euv8GBKK

The US so far this year has experienced a record 23 natural disasters causing damage of at least $1 billion apiece, surpassing the previous record of 22 in 2020, according to NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. The 23 events this year have caused over $57.6 billion in damage and at least 253 deaths, and NOAA is still determining whether Hurricane Hilary's impact in California and drought in the South and Midwest also have exceeded the billion-dollar threshold. https://lnkd.in/gsfXSjwx #HurricaneSeason #HurricaneHilary #FloodInsurance

Hurricane Beryl’s record-breaking strength and early rapid intensification highlight the stark impact of human-caused climate change driven by burning fossil fuels. "When we’re warming the planet with our fossil-fuel emissions, we’re making it more likely that we have those warm ocean waters that can allow a storm like Beryl to really develop and intensify quickly." #ClimateChange #Health #ExtremeWeather #Hurricanes #HurricaneSeason #Storms #ClimateIsHealth

𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬   Hurricane Beryl, which left a trail of destruction in the Caribbean, now heads to Jamaica as a strong Category 4 storm. It has been declared the strongest-ever hurricane in July.   On Monday, Beryl was declared a Category 5 hurricane — the highest rating on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale; winds had reached 157 miles per hour, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).   Beryl has shattered many records which experts believe are tied to climate change, as it has developed faster and much earlier in the year. It is the strongest hurricane on record for both June and July and saw the most rapid intensification of any hurricane before September 1 — typically the more intense period of the Atlantic season, which runs from June 1 to November 30. Experts believe global warming will cause hurricanes to intensify more rapidly due to warmer waters, giving people less time to brace for their impact, reports CNBC.   The NOAA has forecast an 85% chance of an “above-normal” 2024 hurricane season in the Atlantic - 17 to 25 named storms versus an average of 14, and eight to 13 hurricanes versus an average of seven. Four to seven of these are likely to develop into major hurricanes, compared with an average of three.   Beryl amassed its strength from warm waters of the Atlantic basin. Ocean temperatures in the Atlantic Basin are currently at record-warm levels and were closer in May to the usual level of late August, according to the NOAA.   Six people have so far been killed by the hurricane - three in Grenada and Carriacou, one in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and two in northern Venezuela, as per the Associated Press.   Regions of South Texas are within the forecast cone for Hurricane Beryl's potential arrival this weekend, posing risks of heavy rains, hazardous rip currents, and powerful winds, reports Fox Weather. datasurfr.ai will continue to monitor the progress of Hurricane Beryl.   Disclaimer: The article has reference to open sources including NOAA, CNBC, Fox Weather and the Associated Press. #HurricaneBeryl #RecordBreakingHurricane #ClimateChange #AtlanticHurricaneSeason #RapidIntensification #GlobalWarming #WeatherAlert #DisasterPreparedness #CaribbeanStorm #StormWatch #datasurfr #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #JamaicaStorm #AtlanticBasin #HurricaneSeason2024 #WeatherUpdate #EnvironmentalImpact Samrendra Mohan Kumar Pawan Desai Sushil Pradhan SANDEEP SINHA Ranjeet Sinha Aparna Guddad Abhijit Korde Kunal Solanki Inder Chaudhry Manoj Singh Mitesh Shah

Hurricane Otis intensified shockingly fast — from tropical storm to category 5 in just 12 hours, defying forecasts. While hurricane forecasts have significantly improved over the years, climate change is now accelerating storms in ways that strain preparedness efforts. "Increasingly, intensification is not only occurring in the Pacific & Atlantic of our region, but also in the Indian Ocean. That is a challenge, both for climate services & the humanitarian response," says Juan Bazo, a climate scientist with Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre. Read an interview with Bazo to learn more about the impacts of climate change on hurricane forecasting and preparedness. He discusses solutions that National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies can implement to better prepare communities in this era of unpredictable and intensifying storms: https://lnkd.in/ewpyewfC
