Es ist eine schöne Visualisierung, die die Sturmzahlen von 1851 bis 2023 zeigt, aber wenn Sie die Bedeutung dieses Diagramms und seinen Zusammenhang mit dem Klimawandel bedenken, werden Sie erkennen, in welcher traurigen Realität wir uns befinden, da die Zahl tropischer Systeme im Allgemeinen zugenommen hat eine Folge des Klimawandels.
Darüber sollte man auch bei den jüngsten Stürmen wie Helene und Milton nachdenken.

It would be interesting to do a yearly plot for each storms’ lowest measured pressure or how quickly storms are strengthening. Two measures scientists also point to as an effect of climate change.
Fl magats that just got hit twice in a month: “it’s a hoax!”
this is misleading cause its not adjusted for airplane and satellite coverage.

One thing missing here is the use of weather satellites to spot hurricanes that may never move onto land. This started in the 60s. Not saying that boat observations missed them all, but it does help to ensure full coverage and may be a contributing factor of the increase.
Obviously that doesn’t account for all of it. I do think climate change is more likely to increase the strength and intensity of the storm and not necessarily the quantity of storms.
It would be more interesting to compare known detection parameters for say 1890 vs 2024 and then recount how many hurricanes formed
Looks like we’re declining slightly since the decade surrounding 1975.
