As many as 13 Atlantic hurricanes of category one or above are forecast for the period, which runs from June to November. Record high sea surface temperatures are partly to blame, as is a likely shift in regional weather patterns. While there&#8217;s no evidence climate change is producing more hurricanes, it is making the most powerful ones more likely, and bringing heavier rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>On average, the Atlantic basin \u2013 which includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico &#8211; experiences 14 named tropical storms a year, of which seven are hurricanes and three are major hurricanes. Tropical storms become hurricanes when they reach peak sustained wind speeds of 74mph (119km\/h). &#8216;Major&#8217; hurricanes (category three and above) are those reaching at least 111mph (178km\/h).<\/p>\n<p>To draw attention to the way that global warming is making the highest intensity storms more likely, a recent study explored the possibility of creating a new category six level. This &#8220;would alert the public that the strongest tropical cyclones that we are now experiencing are unprecedented and the reason for that [is] the warming of the surface oceans because of climate change,&#8221; explains study lead author Michael Wehner, senior scientist at Berkeley Earth. Hurricane categories only take into account wind speeds. But these storms pose other major hazards, such as rainfall and coastal flooding, which are generally worsening with climate change, NOAA warned.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cw441ng00wxo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-529\/\">Atlantic to get &#8216;extraordinary&#8217; hurricane season<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2025,575,5833,3009],"class_list":["post-130693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-atlantic","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-hurricane","tag-noaa"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
