Was hurricane Ian a perfect example of the way hurricane seasons will change as the world warms? Both climate models and the laws of physics are clear: more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere means warmer air and oceans, which means more energy for bigger, stronger hurricanes. So why is it that we haven’t seen a clear signal from climate change in the hurricane record over the last century? This episode explores groundbreaking research on this question and looks ahead at what we can expect in the coming decades.
Hurricane Ian is the first major, landfalling hurricane of the 2022 season, and this has many scratching their heads. Does this cast doubt on the assumption that global warming will lead to bigger, stronger storms? Tune in to find out what leading climate scientists have to say on the matter!
Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.

"Number 2: Warmer air will hold more moisture and dump more rain on land." I realise this is anecdote, and not in a region discussed in the video, but the area around Sydney, Australia, is currently experiencing its fourth "flood of the century" in a little over 18 months. Makes one think.

Floods are a little different. When something is a "flood of the century" that means that there is a chance a flood levels like that (as floods are measured per chance tat a flood will reach a certain heing) will happen within 100 years, so 100% within 100 years is 1% per year. That doesnt mean that they only happen once per 100 years and not again for 99 more years. Its a common misconception with anything measured like that.

@@witchy90210 It's more that it is incredibly unlikely to have *four* of these within the last year or so. It is so far out of the norm that is has changed the voting habits of historically conservative, climate denying areas to voting for parties at the opposite end of the spectrum. Roll a natural 1 with a d20 and you're unlucky, but roll 7 ones in a row (roughly same likelihood) and it's time to start seeing if the dice is weighted. The ocean off Eastern Australia (and across the pacific towards South America) has shown a completely different pattern of temperature and current flow to what we have seen in the last 50 years. Our marine ecosystems are struggling so much with this, with no time to recover in between major storm events. Large towns have been rendered basically unlivable with floods coming through every 2-3 months, destroying everything. And all this came off the tail of a 6 month period with literally no rain that lead to the 2019/20 black summer, where almost every piece of bushland in the state was on fire to some extent. The fire burned 6% of NSW, and around a third of *all* the bushland in an area slightly larger than Texas. We then had Covid, and now over a year of floods.

1:17 VRI, that's exactly what we experienced with Michael. Went to bed thinking we faced a strong, Cat 3 hurricane. We stayed since we were on high ground in a sturdy structure. 12-hours later, we rode out the forgotten Cat 5. Typically, not even mentioned in this video along with Irma, Patricia, Harvey, Sandy, and Ida, even though it was stronger than any other hurricane to make landfall in the USA in a half century and resulted in $25 billion in damages. As I said, the forgotten Cat 5. Fortunately, we did not experience the other apparent trend for landfilling hurricanes to stall. Michael kept moving and was out of the area quickly.

​@@erinmcdonald7781 Glad you remember. Most people don't seem to. Or, they remember but don't realize the severity and extent of the destruction. Nearly four years later, and very few mentions in recent related content; this video being an example. FWIW, in mentioning the sole house standing, you're talking about Mexico Beach. IIRC, that particular house had to be demolished, damaged beyond repair, and there were a good number of structures with lesser damage in Mexico Beach. Again, we're neglecting the 4,000 square miles of devastation extending all the way into Georgia, and the east side of the Panama City Municipal Area of which my city of Callaway is a part. Maybe most people were never aware of the extent of Michael's impact. I know for a fact many road trippers stumbled upon the destruction completely in surprise!

Currently live on the coast of NE FL (1 mile from ocean and 1 mile from intracoastal) and approaching retirement. Hurricanes, insurance, oppressive heat and missing a change of seasons are some of the reasons why I’m considering moving further north and west. I’m originally from Northern Virginia. I can always visit the beach but would much rather live near the mountains and don’t want to be 75 or 80 trying to evacuate. If I stay here I will move off the barrier island. Wherever I end up, proximity to any body of water that could flood is a factor.

One must consider the role the dewpoint plays in "release" of rain. Large areas of hot air can store massive amounts of moisture, but that will not be released until that air reaches an area cool enough-at the dewpoint-at which point rain droplets can condense. This appears to be reflected in the current, massive floods affecting south China (with its cool mountains) while rain is also avoiding the heat-plagued, drought-ridden areas of the north. This same "heat bubble" problem is growing in the US, from California to Texas, and into the "Deep South." This requirement for cooling to the dewpoint before release of precipitation could also split the hurricane season into two parts, one in spring, the other in autumn, with a "quiet" time during the hottest summer months.

I would not live near the coast or beach front. That is within the range of the hurricane surge. Where I live the big concern are wild fires. We live near a green belt and passed on buying a bigger nice house. It was at the wild land urban interface and had only a two lane road in and out. One entrance/exit to the community. That seemed like a bad choice. That area has not burned in the 10 years since we looked, but was evacuated once. We all need to make decisions taking into consideration the risks that will only go up with climate change.

The one that I never hear much about is that the massive heat sink that was the polar ice cap has been adding cold water to the Atlantic at profound rates for the last fifty years as it melts and mixes with the ocean as currents have carried the cold water south. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS GONE? Imagine taking a warm shower and the cold tap is suddenly shut off. How fast will your shower go from warm to SCALDING? We have been worried about open water and polar bears, but the rate of melting is exponential scale as the volume of ice decreases at the poles. Not only does open water expose more surface area of ice to melt, but the darker sea water absorbs heat faster than the reflective ice cover. This allows the warmer water to melt both the top and the bottom of the ice that is over water at an ever increasing rate. The real unknown is how this will impact the atmospheric jet streams as the polar influences use to steer the jet streams but now that they have less influence what will keep the jet streams from fluctuating and oscillating more radically? Certainly things that use average people do not know but I really hope the experts who specialize in this are looking and modeling. If we think the oceans are heating now, how much more rapidly will they warn in the NEXT fifty years without the melting caps to temper it? Side question: Could the melting caps have changed the balance of the weight of the globe such that polar north wobble has been accelerated? And how will that wobble impact the jet streams? So many complex variables are created when you melt the polar ice caps. Many of which are not obvious. Much like the thawing of Tundra surprised us by "springing" up instead of sinking.

I know that we are constantly being bombarded with stories of the ice caps melting, but that just isn't happening. The Arctic ice cap is fluctuating with the AMO, as all historic evidence indicates it has done for as long as we have data. It also fluctuates with a longer cycle that brought us the Medieval Warm Period, the Little Ice Age and now the Modern Warm Period, which is apparently not as warm as the MWP. The ice cores, however, clearly show a more significant cycle of short warm periods (10 to 15 thousand years) and much longer periods of glaciation (60 to 100 thousand years), approximately for the last 2.5 million years. Our current interglacial, which we call the Holocene, has been waning for 6 to 8 thousand years. The Modern Warm Period is also likely at its peak, and will start to slowly move towards the next little ice age. The AMO has started into its cooler cycle as well. All 3 of the natural climate cycles that we know of, are either cooling or about to be cooling. In about 2,000 years, we will be entering the next long period of glaciation. The Arctic ice cap will be growing for the rest of the lifetime of anyone reading this. CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels have no negative impact on the climate, and a massive positive impact on the biosphere. In fact, fossil fuels are the only truly green energy source, as emissions create a more favorable environment for green plants, which are the base of the food chain for life on Earth. The current climate crisis narrative is void of science, and the exact opposite of reality. The fear-porn, however, has been a huge money maker for academics, activists, politicians and the media, while being a disaster for civilization. This winter, many Europeans will pay with their lives for buying into the climate crisis hoax. It's a tragedy of colossal proportions in the making!

If that means constructing a basalt reinforced dome part or totally buried in the ground thats what you should do ... If you live on a flood plane then you need to be able to cope with that or get support to move out of the danger zone.

There's SO MUCH out of our control. It's scary whether it's the economy or the climate. But we do have some control over making friends. I grew up in a small Southern town, and I've moved more than once to places where I knew no one or just one or two people. I've kept friends from each place I lived. I know that can feel daunting if you grew up in.small place and never moved and even more if you liked it there. But trust me -- if you are semi-outgoing, kind to others, don't mind reaching out first, have a curious mind and open to new things and people, making new friends (who can become like family) will be the least of your problems. The older you get, the harder a move is. But it's still very doable. You're in south Louisiana. Even among Southern states, you have a unique culture there. But I think a move to safer parts of the South would be easiest. it wouldn't be quite the transition that the Northeast or Northwest or the Midwest would be. Maybe somewhere like northern Alabama or eastern Tennessee? It's lovely country there and far enough from the ocean to mitigate a lot of a growing hurricane threat. I suggest taking a few scouting vacations, but don't vacation. Just rent an apartment for week and live as much as you can like a local and see how you like it. Go to local diners, the library, etc., and see how a place "feels" to you.

I completely agree that there most likely will be fewer, but the ones that make landfall will most definitely be stronger. Meteorologist should categorize storms by air pressure. For my Florida neighbors, be prepared as always, but in the coming years more so. The ability to predict weather has changed. Remember hurricane Andrew.

I'm sure there are lots of cycles we didn't know about before we recklessly started un-terraforming our planet. Le sigh. If you don't believe in global warming, it sure would be a lot cooler if you did!

I'm in the Northeast, and our storms have intensified and the time between them decreased. It was 13 years between Floyd in 1999 and Sandy in 2012 (with Irene in between in 2011). However it was only 9 years between Sandy and Ida last year. Both Sandy and Ida caused flooding in Newark and NYC with flood damage to NYC Subway lines. My concern is how major storms have less time between them. I won't be surprised if the next major hurricane hits within the next few years.

August 1983 and as it crossed the island of Galveston there were so many tornadoes on radar that they lost count at one hundred. I was thirty miles north and five blocks off of Galveston Bay. A tornado lifted the roof of our house about six inches and then dropped it back down. I could look outside as the ceiling and the walls separated for a few moments. Scary as could possibly be. And this was just a few minutes before the eye came over us. We were on one of the highest places along the bay, but the debris pile along our beachfront was just unbelievable and the storm surge nearly overtopped it.

The fewer storms doesn’t sound confusing to me. There is a limited time and physical space for storms to develop and move. However, with more energy in any system, the system will start operating faster or larger or both. Since faster isn’t much of an option, storms and weather in general will be pushed to more extremes. This is exactly what we’ve seen the past two decades, at least; Hot areas getting hotter, dry areas getting dryer, droughts worsening, wet areas getting wetter. The only weather which is a little more difficult is snowfall because warming oceans and atmosphere mean more water vapor in the air, but also warmer air to reduce snowfall but increase rain.

The biggest stumbling block people have with the whole 'Global warming/ climate change' thing is that it isn't just a simple case of the planet heating up. Yes, it is warming, but what all that heat is doing is causing more water to evaporate from the oceans. This is pumping more energy into our atmosphere, making it more turbulent and unstable... and an unstable system tends to be unpredictable, especially when that instability is ongoing. As confusing as it might seem, despite global average temperatures going up, some places might actually see their average temperatures going down, and getting much colder winters. I know one thing for certain, though. Big businesses will continue to deny anything is wrong, until they are directly affected by the issue. And by then, millions of ordinary people, if not billions, will have suffered because of their shortsightedness and greed.

The Atlantic actually goes through active and inactive phases that last 20-30 years on average. This is why you get tons of landfalls some decades and none other decades. For example when the northeast got pummeled with multiple big hurricanes in the 1950s and 1960s the Atlantic was in an active phase. Though there was also a global pattern occurring during that time that allowed them to strike so easily which might be part of why landfalls have been decreasing. Same goes for 1995-2022 so far. It's mostly tied to the positive AMO's warm phase. There's a ton of ingredients that come together to make the basin more active for decades at a time and then inactive.

日本人がこのコメントに気付いたら、このPBS Terraの動画を2年ほど遡って見て欲しい。 このチャンネルは的確な情報と、これから悪化する異常気象のイメージが判ると思う。 事実今年1月にはいち早くジェット気流の変動を取り上げ、この動画も7月6日でIANが発生する前の投稿です。 最近日本では視聴率が悪いのか環境問題や異常気象の番組が極端に減り、情報番組の1コーナーに取り上げるかどうかになって多くの若い世代が気候変動が加速している事の実感がない。 私は40年前に科学雑誌で真鍋叔郎博士の論文を知り、以降仕事でも個人的にも省エネに取り組んでいますが今年の異常気象は当時の予測より約20年早くなっている。 その要因は当時のシュミレーションには無かったと思われる山火事の灰が氷河に付着して太陽光の反射率が下がったり、海水温の上昇でCO2が十分に溶けない、若しくは逆に海からCO2が排出されているとか、以前discoveryで地軸が傾いたとNASAが調べたそうなので、今はこれらすべて複合して気候変動が加速していると思います。 当時の科学雑誌には温室効果ガスで気温上昇が発生し、その次に昆虫の減少と食糧危機が起こると記載されており、これも先日DWで昆虫が減少していると報じていたので今行動しなければ本当に危険です。 (DWの動画では温暖化よりも街灯の影響や農薬が原因としている) 海に囲まれた日本では極端な異常気象が少ないからだと思うが先進国で一番環境問題の意識が低いようなので、多くの日本人に見て欲しい。

I was hoping this was about a recent discovery that we may actually be in a hurricane low period. They did a core study in the blue holes off rhe Bahamas and found far more hurricanes occurred during the 1800s.

I do have an interest in hurricanes though. I find them really interesting
