The destructive force of Hurricane Helene reveals a troubling trend, as record-warm ocean temperatures fueled its intensity, leading to deep devastation across the Southeast.
'While climate change hasn’t determined where a hurricane makes landfall, it has intensified Helene in a way that reflects our growing vulnerability to such events,' McNoldy noted.
Helene is part of an unusually intense hurricane season, with forecasters warning that the record for landfalls could still be broken before the season ends.
The Atlantic hurricane season was predicted to be unprecedented due to warm ocean temperatures, with Helene marking a significant event in a season that was expected to be dire.
