Scientists warn that Hurricane Helene foreshadows increasingly severe storms due to climate change, bringing the threat of more frequent and intense hurricanes to the Southeastern United States.
After evaluating Helene, researchers estimated that it produced 10 percent more rain than previous storms due to warmer ocean waters, highlighting the effects of anthropogenic climate change.
Hurricane Helene illustrates that today's storms are no longer rare anomalies; local infrastructure and preparedness significantly influence the extent of the damage inflicted by these weather events.
Julie Arrighi emphasized the necessity for societies to enhance their preparedness and adaptation strategies in response to climate change, stating that many disasters are no longer once-in-a-lifetime events.
