Climate Change Added 18 mph to Hurricane Wind Speeds over Past Five Years: Study
Because of climate change, maximum wind speeds generated by 84% of Atlantic hurricanes between 2019 and 2023 intensified by an average of 18 miles per hour, according to a Climate Central study published today in Environmental Research: Climate.
Climate change has amped up hurricane wind speeds by 30 kph on average
Every single Atlantic hurricane in 2024 had wind speeds supercharged by warming seas. One even jumped two categories of intensity.
Climate change strengthened hurricane winds by 18mph since 2019, study says
The waters in the hurricane area have increased by 1.1 to 1.6C in general and as much as 2.2C due to climate change, Mr Gifford said. Climate Central has used scientifically accepted techniques to regularly track how much warmer oceans are because of the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.
Climate change made all of this year’s Atlantic hurricanes so much worse
A new analysis finds that the storms’ wind speeds increased by up to 28 miles per hour, boosting their destructive power.
Human-driven climate change increasing Atlantic hurricane wind speeds, study finds
Climate change strengthened the maximum wind speeds of Atlantic hurricanes by an average of 18 mph during the past five years, a new study published Wednesday shows. Why it matters: The study is among the first to show a link between hotter ocean temperatures and stronger hurricane wind speeds.
