Nor'easters Slamming New England Are Growing More Powerful
NEW YORK STATE, JUL 11 – Since 2021, New York has faced eight major disaster declarations and invested over $12 billion in federal aid and hazard mitigation to enhance climate resilience, officials said.
- In January 2024, a nor'easter led to significant flooding in Lynn, Massachusetts, representing a notable weather event in the New England region.
- Scientists attribute stronger nor'easters to warmer ocean temperatures driven by greenhouse gas emissions, with trends identified through 85 years of storm data.
- Researchers note nor'easters draw energy from multiple factors like wind shear, making water the main threat, while storms’ maximum wind speeds have increased slightly since 1940.
- Michael Mann explained that although there was no clear pattern in the typical strength of these storms, the most powerful storms have been intensifying.
- This pattern suggests nor'easters may cause more damage in the future, emphasizing the need for ongoing preparedness and clean energy innovation to mitigate impacts.
