⏬🆕 Stay ahead of #InsuranceIndustry shifts, with "Critical Information for P/C Carrier Executives", from @CarrierManagement: Hurricane Intensity Forecasts Can Be Improved With Sea Spray Effects New research suggests incorporating the effects of sea spray into models that predict hurricane behavior can improve forecasting, according to research by Florida State University in collaboration with researchers in South Korea. The work was published in Environmental Research Letters. “We know forecasts predicting hurricane tracks are pretty good most of the time, but the … Continued #PCInsurance #InsurTech #PropertyInsurance #PublicAdjusters #PropertyClaims #InsuranceIndustryNews #InsuranceNews https://vist.ly/3mjw2b8

We're in for the wildest hurricane season on record. NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and AccuWeather forecasters are predicting a well above-average Atlantic hurricane season for 2024, with 20-25 named storms expected. This includes 8-12 hurricanes and 4-7 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). This is well above the 30-year historical average. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), a measure of storm intensity and longevity, is predicted to be 175-225, significantly higher than the average of 123. There is a 10-15% chance that the season could see an unprecedented 30 or more named storms, which would surpass the record of 30 set in 2020. A chance to educate: In the face of unpredictable weather, it's more important than ever to educate people about climate change and what impact our choices as businesses, governments, and communities have on our climate.

With La Niña in the forecast, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration is expecting a particularly active hurricane season with a range of 17 to 25 named storms in the Atlantic basin. Stevens Davidson Laboratory researchers Reza Marsooli, Ph.D. and Philip Orton are contributing to emergency preparedness in the tri-state region and the nation by modeling the short- and long-term impacts through Stevens Flood Advisory System.

Hurricane Helene caused over 40 trillion gallons of rain in the Southeast United States, with meteorologists arguing it was a combination of two or three storm systems. The severity of the storms is being debated due to climate change. #HurricaneHelene #ClimateChange #Meteorology #Explore #Flood #Floodinsurance #Waterdamage #Flooding
