Projected increase in the frequency of extremely active Atlantic hurricane seasons Seasonal variability of Atlantic tropical cyclone activity is projected to increase, leading to more active hurricane seasons.

Why increasing variability in North Atlantic hurricanes matters for insurance climate change scenarios Why Rising Hurricane Variability in the North Atlantic Matters for Climate-Driven Insurance Scenarios

A brand new NOAA-led study in Science says that hurricane variability is increasing. The implications for catastrophe risk management could be bigger than we previously thought, as @cameronrye.bsky.social and I discuss here: www.wtwco.com/en-sg/insigh...

The "shape" of the 2024 hurricane season is a funny one. It got off to a spectacular start, had a sleepy middle, and then it was a sprint to the finish line. This plot shows the difference between the cumulative ACE index (a measure of hurricane activity) for 2024 compared to the 1991-2020 average.
