In years with warm ocean water conditions, the Southeast Coast is the U.S. area most likely to be hit by hurricanes of high intensity, a meteorologist suggested in discussing some recent research.
Peter Dailey, director of atmospheric science at AIR Worldwide Corporation, said that every year since 1995, the Atlantic Ocean has been warmer than average, and that trend will likely continue for at least the next several years.
The firm has been researching hurricane activity spurred by warm water conditions in an attempt to assess how long-term risk based on all historical data differs from risk based solely on data from historical years with warm ocean temperatures, he explained.
