Wait, isn’t this what everyone wanted?? Why the fuck have we been poisoning the atmosphere for the last century if not to enjoy more category 5 hurricanes? I’m so confused.
I know right? Aren’t we glad we went for the sure fire poison over the n-word option.
only a little?
as a treat
Hurricane Betsy — the second storm of the year — hit New Orleans on September 9, 1965. Katrina — the 11th storm — hit New Orleans August 29th, 2005. And now we apparently have Category 5 storms forming in late June/early July.
Every hurricane season (and hurricane) is different, obviously, and that’s one city’s experience but it makes me wonder if there will even be a distinct “hurricane season” in a few decades.
Not just early July. A full 16 days earlier than the previous record from 2005. The record before that was Allen(so the first hurricane of the season) all the way back in August 5 of 1980.
They also used to be rare, and are getting less so. Since 1924, only 39 are known. Since 1960, there have been 30. 8 of those(so ~20%) are since 2016.

Should I? I am in Europe.
Maybe focus on the Gulf Stream collapse instead
Considering that it’s the fact that it even exists right now is the concerning part, yes.
The earth is a closed system, just because there’s a very early hurricane half a world away doesn’t mean the climate isn’t being effected everywhere.
For you this could mean an increased amount of warm water moving in through the Gulf stream to the North Atlantic. This will bring warmer waters to the coastal regions of Europe increasing the severity of storms there, until that warmer water causes the Gulf stream to completely collapse plunging Europe into an early ice age.
The weather where this hurricane is does directly affect you where you live.Good luck with your impending ice age.
Nope. Don’t need to worry about copious amounts of water raining down, just the water wars.
