Research, co-authored by a University of Hawai\u2018i at M\u0101noa atmospheric scientist, has revealed that since the 1980s hurricane activity has changed, with Category 4 and 5 hurricanes arriving three to four days earlier with each passing decade of climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hurricanes are one of the most devastating natural disasters in the world, bringing about torrential rains, destructive wind, floods, and coastal storm surges.<\/p>\n When the activity of these events changes, it has significant implications for disaster response preparedness<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen intense tropical cyclones occur earlier than usual, they cause unexpected problems for communities,\u201d said Pao-Shin Chu, atmospheric sciences professor in the UH M\u0101noa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology and Hawai\u2018i State Climatologist.<\/p>\n \u201cMoreover, the earlier advance of these storms will overlap with other weather systems, for example local thunderstorms or seasonal monsoon rainfall, and can produce compounding extreme events and strain the emergency response.\u201d<\/p>\n
