Stronger, Slower, Deadlier? How Climate Change Is Affecting Storms
Stronger, Slower, Deadlier? How Climate Change Is Affecting Storms
US · Published Sep 9, 2025
Climate change is increasing the intensity of storms due to warmer ocean temperatures, leading to stronger hurricanes and more damage.
Storms are moving more slowly, resulting in prolonged heavy rainfall and increased flooding, exacerbated by climate-influenced atmospheric changes.
Rising sea levels from climate change worsen storm surges, making coastal regions more vulnerable and increasing the overall deadliness of storms.
Climate change alters storm patterns: stronger, slower, deadlier
Climate change is reshaping our world, and one of the most visible manifestations of this transformation is the alteration of storm patterns. Are storms becoming stronger, slower, and deadlier due to climate change? The answer, supported by scientific evidence, is complex but increasingly points to this alarming trend.
