Hurricanes that make landfall are taking more time to weaken – and climate change may be to blame. Researchers found that because of rising sea temperatures, the average North Atlantic hurricane now takes 33 hours to lose steam, compared to the 17 hours some 50 years ago. Storms forming over warmer oceans are carrying moisture … Read more

NOAA spots conditions of the weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean that has a 75% chance of plaguing the US with hurricanes and droughts through the winter NOAA has observed La Niña conditions in the Pacific as of last month Surface temperatures dropped to 26.6 egress Fahrenheit over the past weeks This weather … Read more
Scientists are cooking up a madcap scheme to eradicate hurricanes using underwater bubbles. The plan involves creating a ‘bubble net’ from a pipeline of compressed air strung between two ships or buoys and submerged 300 feet below the ocean surface. In theory, the bubbles would take cold water up to the surface, replacing the warm … Read more
Hurricanes are getting faster and more dangerous due to climate change – with wind speeds of over 115mph 15 per cent more likely than 40 years ago Researchers examined 40 years of hurricane and climate data for their study They found the maximum sustained wind speed was up 8 per cent per decade The team … Read more
