According to scientists in a report from World Weather Attribution, an organization that examines the link between climate change and extreme weather, Typhoon Gaemi’s wind speeds were around 14kmh , more intense, and its rainfall was up 14 % higher as a result of warmer sea temperatures.
” With global heat rising, we are now witnessing an increase in these ocean conditions, and as a result, more powerful energy is being made available for these tropical storms, increasing their intensity”, Nadia Bloemendaal, scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, told a briefing on Wednesday ahead of the article’s release.
At the same time, Clair Barnes, a research associate at London’s Grantham Institute, stated that storms were presently 30 % more prevalent and severe than they were in the pre-industrial era, warning that they will become even more frequent and severe if global temperatures rises reach 2 degrees Celsius.
Although East Asia is accustomed to severe weather, Maja Vahlberg, a climate risk specialist with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, said that its disaster protection system and disaster response planning are in need of increased pressure.
” Yet our best efforts are being stretched to their parameters”, she said.  ,
