More powerful storm than Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Helene to hit USA? Shocking weather forecast revealed

Powerful hurricanes have always threatened the US and rattled a few times as well as. Now weather experts have warned that stronger hurricanes may occur. There's an 80 per cent chance the world will break another annual temperature record in the next five years, and it's even more probable that the world will again exceed the international temperature threshold set 10 years ago, according to a five-year forecast released Wednesday by the World Meteorological Organization and the U.K. Meteorological Office, as per a report.

Higher global mean temperatures may sound abstract, but it translates in real life to a higher chance of extreme weather: stronger hurricanes, stronger precipitation, droughts, said Cornell University climate scientist Natalie Mahowald, AP reported.

With every tenth of a degree the world warms from human-caused climate change "we will experience higher frequency and more extreme events (particularly heat waves but also droughts, floods, fires and human-reinforced hurricanes/typhoons)," AP reported quoting Johan Rockstrom, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.


And for the first time there’s a chance — albeit slight — that before the end of the decade, the world's annual temperature will shoot past the Paris climate accord goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) and hit a more alarming 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) of heating since the mid-1800s, the two agencies said.

There's an 86 per cent chance that one of the next five years will pass 1.5 degrees and a 70 per cent chance that the five years as a whole will average more than that global milestone, they figured.

The projections come from more than 200 forecasts using computer simulations run by 10 global centers of scientists, as per AP report.
