🌩️Climate change transforms weather patterns, leading to larger, more frequent hailstorms. We're seeing stronger storms and larger hailstones with warmer temperatures fueling more atmospheric energy. Even areas once considered safe now face threats. 🚨This isn't just a weather issue. It's a wake-up call. Infrastructure to agriculture is under threat, and the urgency for adaptation strategies is being pressed. 💸The financial impact? Staggering. Insured losses from hailstorms have already surpassed $60 billion this year. This poses a significant challenge to the insurance industry, necessitating reevaluated pricing models and better risk assessment strategies. 📈At KatRisk, we're continually innovating and adapting our dynamic catastrophe risk software to help our clients navigate the new reality of severe weather. 🔗Like to article in first comment below #ClimateChange #InsuranceIndustry #RiskManagement #KatRisk
