Record-breaking Philippines typhoon season was ‘supercharged’ by climate change

Quick Summary:

This year’s record-breaking typhoon season in the Philippines – which saw six consecutive storm systems hit the country in under a month – was "supercharged” by climate change, according to a rapid attribution study.

Using the IRIS dataset, the authors assessed how likely it is for three typhoons to make landfall in the Philippines in a single year under different warming levels.

Typhoons are complex events, which can be intensified by climate change in many different ways, including their rainfall intensity, storm surge height and wind speed.
