After Beryl made history as the earliest hurricane to reach category 4 intensity, NBC6 is taking a look at how climate change may have played a role.
in about a day and a half, we are reminded that the forecast for the number of storms doesn't matter. What matters is that every storm that forms can lead to much more death and destruction because of a hotter planet.is stored in the ocean. This year's ocean temps continue to set records daily and were as hot as they should be in August or September by May.
3) Storms are now dumping more rain because a hotter ocean leads to more evaporation which leads to more potential moisture. We have learned this twice in the last year with rain events that are not tropical, but it follows the same science. 6) Storms are now happening 'when' they shouldn't happen with more frequency outside of hurricane season.
