Subtropical storm Nicole forecast to become Hurricane as it nears Florida's East Coast

Natural calamities like typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes have been increasing in recent years.

Climate change can be blamed for these intense changes and it is making hurricanes wetter, windier, and altogether more intense.

Climate change is also causing more storms to travel slowly, allowing them to cause more damage as it travels.

The typical "season" for hurricanes has been shifting, as climate warming creates conditions conducive to storms in more months of the year.

Hurricanes are made up of warm ocean water and moist humid air. The heat energy when transferred to the atmosphere is what gives it strength.

Due to climate change, hurricanes have also been making landfall in regions outside their normal path.

Climate change also boosts the amount of rainfall, as a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, allowing the water vapor to build up.

Big storms are all the same, but their names depend on where and they were formed.

Storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean or central and eastern North Pacific are called "hurricanes".
