Climate change fuels the storm: Warming seas, rising tides, and atmospheric shifts accelerate the early arrival and intensification of hurricanes, posing greater risks to coastal communities.

Climate change can impact the earlier arrival of intense hurricanes in several ways. Warmer ocean waters provide more energy for hurricane formation and intensification. Rising sea levels can lead to more significant storm surges, causing greater damage and flooding. Changes in atmospheric conditions may result in a more favorable environment for hurricane development. Overall, climate change can contribute to the alteration of hurricane patterns, causing them to appear earlier and potentially with greater intensity, posing increased risks to vulnerable regions.
