How Do Rising Temperatures Drive Cyclonic Storms?

We have 75+ years of data, but this story focuses on the most recent 30 years to highlight modern trends.

Focus window: 1995–present (last 30 years)

Strong warming trend correlates with increased storm activity and intensity.

This story connects 75+ years of data (NASA temperature anomalies, NOAA tornadoes, IBTrACS hurricanes). For clarity and relevance, we focus on the most recent 30 years to highlight modern trends in storm activity.
