Climate change and El Niño intensified Hurricane Polo, study finds
Original: Climate change and El Niño turbocharged Hurricane Polo, study finds
A new study concludes that Hurricane Polo was significantly strengthened by the combined effects of climate change and the El Niño pattern. Researchers say warmer ocean conditions linked to both phenomena gave the storm additional energy, a pattern consistent with broader findings that rising sea temperatures are intensifying tropical cyclones. The findings are drawing attention among climate and weather watchers.
Why now: A newly published study linking a named hurricane to climate change and El Niño is drawing interest as extreme weather remains a hot topic.
