The Atlantic hurricane season begins tomorrow. While climate change doesn't create these storms, it's making them much more dangerous. In a warmer world they're stronger, intensifying faster (especially near land), dumping a lot more rain, moving more slowly & weakening more gradually over land.

The Atlantic hurricane season typically begins June 1 since that's when we start to see sea surface temperatures above 26C (79F), the threshold required for hurricanes to form. This year, as of May 29, nearly the entire hurricane formation area is already above the threshold (yellow-orange areas).
