The effects of climate change increase episodes of extreme rain and strong winds.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) warned about the possibility that hurricanes are becoming more dangerous as a result of changes caused by climate change.
Scientists assured that global warming would cause the characteristics that cause the phenomenon of hurricanes to be modified, becoming stronger and more destructive.
Hurricanes are also known as tropical cyclones, which are large storms that rotate around an area and need tropical conditions to generate.
For this phenomenon to happen, an ocean with warm water must exist; excess humidity in the air; little variation of the wind in the vertical and pre-existing turbulence.
Changing some of these characteristics that cause cyclones to form would also change the phenomenon itself.
Strong hurricanes and extreme rains.
The effects of climate change increase episodes of extreme rain and strong winds, with greater humidity in the air in the form of water vapor, so as the temperature of the atmosphere increases, more liquid water evaporates from the land and the ocean. .
Specialists explain that the increase in humidity in the air causes heavier rains.
On the other hand, global warming would modify the intensity of the hurricane’s winds and make them more intense. This would be related to warming ocean temperatures and increased humidity in the air.
Hurricanes would also modify their categories. Currently, there are a greater number of these phenomena that reach categories 4 and 5, however they can become more intense.
