Climate change can cause devastating hurricanes 6 categories

A new study conducted by the staff of the Laboratory of geophysical fluids at the National oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA), shows that climate change will soon lead to the emergence of stronger hurricanes. We are talking about the 6 category. The speed of the wind in this cyclone will exceed 300 km / h and trigger enormous damage.

According to scientists, in addition to the appearance of a new type of hurricanes should be prepared for a noticeable increase in the intensity of the existing cyclone. Natural disasters of this kind will become increasingly visit our planet, and their formation will occur much faster. A striking example of this can serve as a hurricane «Florence,» which in the coming days will cover several States in the US. For a short period of time this cyclone intensified and moved from the first category in the fourth.

With the help of a supercomputer, the Laboratory specialists of the geophysical fluids has created a model that shows a sad trend in the formation of future hurricanes. They found out that in this century humanity will be faced with a significant strengthening of tropical cyclones. According to them, some hurricanes will be able to gain enormous power in just a couple of days. So, for example, was the case with «Maria». This phenomenon in a short period has evolved from an ordinary tropical depression to a category 5 storm.

Over the past few years, scientists have been able to see signs of the formation of super-strong hurricanes. And new research shows that these natural disasters will only become more destructive, but will form much more often.

According to computer simulation, in the period from 2016 to 2035 may receive up to 32 storms extreme strength. We are talking about cyclones in which the wind speed exceeds 300 km/h. moreover, by the end of this century (2081 to 2100) computer predicted 72 hurricane with catastrophic force.

By Thursday, the hurricane monster «Nightingale» could reach the U.S. East coast

In the second half of the week the coast of South-Eastern and mid-Atlantic States will be threatened powerful impact of hurricane «Florence». Now from the coastal zone are evacuated more than 1.5 million inhabitants.

Disappointing forecasts of weather forecasters give for the South-East coast where the hurricane is coming «Nightingale». It is rapidly increased up to the 4th category.
