Summary

80% Informative

In less than two weeks , five hurricanes formed, not far off what the Atlantic would typically get in an entire year .

But in early September , when hurricane activity is normally at its peak, there were peculiarly few storms.

So far, with seven weeks of the official season still to go, there have been nine hurricanes.

However, the total number of tropical storms has been around average, and less than was expected at the start of the year .

Either way, this season has already highlighted how warm seas fuelled by climate change are already increasing the chances of the strongest hurricanes something that is expected to continue as the world warms further. “Hurricanes occur naturally, and in some parts of the world they are regarded as part of life,” explains Kevin Trenberth , a distinguished scholar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder , Colorado , USA . “But human-caused climate change is supercharging them and exacerbating the risk of major damage.”.
