Hurricane Melissa Made 4 Times More Likely Due To Climate Change: Study
Hurricane Melissa, which struck Jamaica as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, was made four times more likely because of human-caused climate change, a rapid analysis said Wednesday.

Researchers Use AI to Predict Storm Surges Faster and More Accurately
AI-powered models are transforming storm surge forecasting by generating accurate coastal flood predictions in minutes. Using past storm data and neural networks, these systems outperform traditional physics models, helping coastal communities prepare faster as climate change drives stronger hurricanes and higher seas.

Atlantic Hurricane Season Sets Peak Record As Storm Erin Threatens US Coast
Hurricane Erin's massive footprint battered Caribbean islands with heavy gusts and downpours on Monday, as it threatened rip currents and flooding along the US East Coast later this week, even without a predicted landfall.

No Hurricane Has Ever Crossed The Equator, Here's Why
Hurricanes wreak havoc in various parts of the world. However, it's a curious fact that they very rarely approach the equator and - stranger still - never cross it.

NOAA Confirms a Weak and 'Unusual' La Niña by Spring
An unusual La Niña event has been confirmed by NOAA, emerging later than expected in December 2024. This weaker and shorter cycle, part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is predicted to persist until April 2025. La Niña typically brings cooler and wetter winters to northern regions while causing warmer, drier conditions in the south. D...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...

Explained: How Milton Became A Powerful Hurricane And Why It's A Concern
Milton's rapid power surge appears to be the latest example of a worrying trend, scientists said, with climate change not only fuelling more powerful storms, but doing so more quickly.

Ocean Heat Behind Helene Made 500 Times More Likely By Climate Change
Climate change intensified Hurricane Helene's rainfall and winds, amplifying its devastation, a new rapid analysis found.

Hurricane Debby Makes Landfall At Florida's Gulf Coast As Category 1 Storm
Hurricane Debby made landfall as a Category 1 storm in the Big Bend region of Florida's Gulf Coast on Monday morning and began a slow crawl across the state, causing potentially dangerous storm surges, heavy rainfall and catastrophic flooding.

Hurricane Debby To Hit Florida, May Cause Historic Rainfall, Flooding
By 11 p.m. EDT (0300 GMT) on Sunday, the hurricane had sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), growing from a slow moving tropical storm that gained strength from warm Gulf waters. It will likely just get stronger.
