Climate Change Intensified Hurricane Milton to Category 3, Researchers Find
Oct 11, 2024, 04:08 PM
Climate change has been identified as a significant factor in the rapid intensification of Hurricane Milton into a major storm. Researchers have found that Hurricane Milton experienced intensified rain and wind due to climate change, according to experts. A rapid analysis by scientists revealed that Milton might have made landfall as a weaker Category 2 storm if not for the effects of climate change. Compared to 1850, Milton today had 30% more rainfall and was a full Category stronger at landfall, reaching Category 3 instead of 2. This finding, reported by AFP, underscores the substantial impact of climate change on hurricane behavior.
