CLAIM: North Atlantic faces more hurricane clusters as climate warms
17 hours ago Anthony Watts
From Fudan University and the “clustered climate science” department comes this inanity. They can’t show a trend in North Atlantic Hurricanes so they change the narrative to “clusters” of hurricanes. Of course, nobody could see such clusters before the satellite era, so what did they do? Make a “probabilistic framework” aka model of course – Anthony

From left to right: Hurricane Sally in the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Paulette east of the Carolinas, the remnants of Tropical Storm Rene in the central Atlantic, and Tropical Storms Teddy and Vicky in the eastern Atlantic. A total of 10 named storms formed in September 2020 — the most for any month on record. (Image credit: NOAA)
Tropical cyclones, commonly known as typhoons or hurricanes, can form in clusters and impact coastal regions back-to-back. For example, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria hit U.S. sequentially within one month in 2017. The Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to provide adequate support to hurricane victims in Puerto Rico when Maria struck because most rescue resources and specialized disaster staffers were deployed for the responses to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
A new study published in Nature Climate Change confirms these hurricane clusters are becoming more frequent in the North Atlantic in recent decades—a trend projected to continue in the near future.
