All Atlantic hurricanes, no matter how grand they may become, begin the same. Each starts as a small disturbance in the atmosphere above equatorial Africa. These disturbances, called tropical waves, ...

In a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters, researchers unveil a poleward shift of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis on a global scale as a result of climate change. Led by Dr. Xi Cao ...

We’re nearly three months into the 2024 East Pacific (EPAC) hurricane season with next to nothing to show for it. Sure, tropical seasons don’t really take off until late August, but even by those ...
