What Do Intense Hurricanes Mean for Birds and People?

Hurricane season is upon us as Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida earlier this week. Hurricanes are historically the deadliest and costliest natural disasters ([link removed]), and this season the stakes are high for birds and people.

While hurricanes may happen less frequently overall because of climate change, the most intense storms are expected to become more common. Unusually warm water temperatures, coupled with rising sea levels, can quickly strengthen hurricanes before landfall. This could have devastating consequences for vulnerable communities and bird species.

Without immediate action, climate change is projected to increase the intensity and variability of heavy precipitation events that both birds and people will need to weather. Keep reading for more about the impacts of climate change on severe weather events like hurricanes ([link removed]).
