My morning thoughts on a looming threat for the U.S. August 1st is the ramp up for the hurricane season and a system is worth watching. Latest Forbes dot com

Hurricane Beryl is rapidly intensifying over the warm waters of the Atlantic and expected to be a category 4. In its path the islands of St. Lucia, Barbados, and Grenada (expected to be hit directly) wiping out recent infrastructural and development gains. Grenada was devasted by hurricane Ivan in 2004. This my friends is what Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face in the era of Climate Change. A constant allocation of GDP to rebuilding damaged infrastructure instead of investing in health, education, agriculture, and other social programs. How much infrastructural hardening can SIDS implement and at what cost? The countries that have contributed the least to climate change bare the brunt of the IMPACT!!! The epitome of Climate Injustice!!

Hurricane Season 2024 has fallen. Can it get up? The view from the peak of hurricane season is strangely desolate, with no named storms forming in almost four weeks. Today, there are a passel of areas of modest interest in the Tropics, but nothing suggestive of a major hurricane threat to the U.S. in the works. Breaking down the short- and long-term prospects of U.S. storm impacts in this week's hurricane column:

Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The Atlantic basin includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico.  Based on a 30-year climate period from 1991 to 2020,  an average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4, or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale).  The first named storm typically forms in mid to late June,  the first hurricane tends to form in early to mid-August,  and the first major hurricane forms in late August  or early September. The eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to November 30. The eastern Pacific basin extends from Mexico and Central America westward to 140°W.  Based on a 30-year climate period from 1991 to 2020, an average eastern Pacific hurricane season has 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.  The first named storm typically forms in early to mid-June, the first hurricane tends to form in late June,  and the first major hurricane forms in mid-July. It is important to note, however, that formation dates in individual hurricane seasons could vary considerably from these average dates. Be ready. Stay safe. Learn and share lessons from past experience.  Commit to whole community readiness, engagement of public-private partnership and ongoing training, corrective actions and interoperability. nhc.noaa.gov

Hurricane Beryl is now the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in any Atlantic hurricane season. At 11 pm Eastern July 1 (0300 July 2 UTC), its maximum strengthened to 160 mph. Beryl experienced rapid intensification between then and when it formed Friday. A storm this strong, this early, and in this location is unheard of. But, there are several factors that played a role in Beryl’s blossoming. Sea surface temperatures, moisture content, and ocean heat content all played a role, but there is so much more than these surface-level descriptions.

Climatologically, the first hurricane normally forms on August 11 and the first major hurricane (Category 3+) forms on September 1. Beryl has achieved hurricane intensity six weeks earlier than average, and will likely achieve major hurricane intensity nine weeks earlier than average... #climaterisk #hurricane #physicalrisk
