Hurricane season got off to a very slow start in 2022. But it only takes one big storm to wreak havoc — as shown in September by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian — and climate change makes such storms more likely.
? Did this mean there would be a welcome respite from recent years of record-breaking storms? After all, there were a whopping 21 total storms in 2021. And, in 2020, there were so many storms that forecasters ran out of letters in the alphabet to name them.
"It was actually, kind of, fear and dread," says Jamie Rhome, the acting director of the National Hurricane Center, thinking back on the quietest part of the Atlantic hurricane season."I felt like people were letting their guard down."killed more than 150 peopleIn the end, the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was among the most deadly and damaging in modern history.
Flooding was the main cause of death and destruction from both Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Fiona. Much of the inland flooding from Ian was caused by extreme rain."A warming climate holds more moisture, and therefore can produce generally more rain," explains Rhome.
