Hurricane Ian was last year’s most expensive event, totaling an estimated $112.9 billion in losses after the hurricane tore across Florida and the Southeast between September 28 and 30, នេះបើយោងតាម to the NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, making the category four storm the third-most expensive since 1980, trailing Hurricane Katrina ($190 billion) and Hurricane Harvey ($151.3 billion).

A heat wave and subsequent drought that hit the Western and Central U.S. was the second-most expensive, totaling $22.2 billion in losses.

A derecho—a straight-lined wind storm that can cause hurricane-like winds and heavy rains—recorded in the Central U.S. was third-most expensive at $3.2 billion, followed by wildfires in the Western U.S. that totaled $3.1 billion in losses.

The remaining total in damages includes estimates from Hurricane Nicole ($1 billion) and Hurricane Fiona ($2.5 billion) in addition to tornadoes and other severe storms, of which 10 of the most expensive accounted for $18.6 billion.

Scientists from the European Union’s climate change service បានប្រកាស Tuesday that the previous eight years are among the eight hottest on record globally. Because of rising temperatures and climate change, the U.S. Geological Survey បាននិយាយថា the possibility of more droughts and increasingly more intense storms will occur. NASA noted in a 2005 report that environmental changes brought on by global warming could exacerbate weather events, resulting in more deaths and damaged property.

NOAA’s estimates for storm damage are based on federal data on damaged buildings, vehicles and assets. The agency says it is conservative in its estimates, though it does not directly attribute specific severe weather events to climate change.
