Impact of Tropical Cyclone Stalling: Rise in Economic Devastation and Fatalities
Recent academic studies have found an increase in the number of slow-moving tropical cyclones, known as tropical cyclone stalling, which can lead to devastating impacts such as extreme rainfall, wind speeds, flooding, and storm surge. This trend has been identified globally, with notable examples like Hurricane Harvey in 2017, highlighting the potential for increased economic devastation and fatalities as storms linger over areas for longer periods of time. Scientists emphasize the importance of understanding tropical cyclone translation speed to better prepare for future storms, especially as hurricane season continues.
