A brand new NOAA-led study in Science says that hurricane variability is increasing. The implications for catastrophe risk management could be bigger than we previously thought, as @cameronrye.bsky.social and I discuss here: www.wtwco.com/en-sg/insigh...

The "shape" of the 2024 hurricane season is a funny one. It got off to a spectacular start, had a sleepy middle, and then it was a sprint to the finish line. This plot shows the difference between the cumulative ACE index (a measure of hurricane activity) for 2024 compared to the 1991-2020 average.

Hello, I'm new here! I'm a natural hazard researcher at WTW Research Network working to better understand and quantify present-day and future natural catastrophe risk for the (re)insurance industry.
