Strong India monsoons cause more hurricane landfalls in North America
A new study has found a correlation between the strength of the monsoon season in India and the number of hurricanes that make landfall in North America.
According to Kelly, La Niña and the Indian monsoon are correlated, but the strength of the monsoon influences the steering of hurricanes independently of La Niña fluctuations, which are responsible for changes in hurricane frequency. In other words, La Niña fluctuations may result in more Atlantic hurricanes, but strong Indian monsoons steer them further westward, making it more likely they will make landfall in the Americas.
It’s important to account for the correlation when studying hurricane steering and landfall probability.
In reading the article, ignore the propaganda promoting global warming, as the research has zero to do with that subject. It instead now provides meteorologists another clue to predicting the frequency and paths of hurricanes in the Atlantic.
