"With climate change, the fundamental concept is we’re adding more energy to the system, and so what happens to that energy, especially with tropical cyclones, is it can manifest in any number of different ways, one of which is wind speed.”

"I think the storms are going to, the change is going to manifest in terms of what we’re already seeing. You look at Hurricane Helene, it was massive, 500 miles across. We’re going to see changes in terms of the velocity of these storms. We’re going to see changes in terms of Hurricane Milton and spawning so many tornadoes. So I think we’re going to see a variety of different manifestations of the additional energetics associated with these storms.”

"I suspect the rule of thumb about water being a major problem is going to continue because we are seeing more water. You know you look at these storms and now we’re talking about feet of water coming down.”

"Wind will continue to be the problem that it is, but the flooding and the extreme precipitation is going to be even more of an impact than we’ve seen before.”

STORYLINE:
Extreme weather events will continue but with added "velocity," according to the head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Speaking on the sidelines of COP29 in Baku on Wednesday, Rick Spinrad said, "with climate change, the fundamental concept is we’re adding more energy to the system, and so what happens to that energy, especially with tropical cyclones, is it can manifest in any number of different ways, one of which is wind speed.”

"Wind will continue to be the problem that it is, but the flooding and the extreme precipitation is going to be even more of an impact than we’ve seen before," he added.

It comes as a new scientific study released Wednesday found human-caused climate change made Atlantic hurricanes about 18 miles per hour (29 kilometers per hour) stronger in the last six years.

For most of the storms — 40 of them — the extra oomph from warmer oceans made the storms jump an entire hurricane category, according to the study published in the journal, Environmental Research: Climate.

This isn’t about more storms, but increasing power from the worst ones, authors said.
