Climate Change Significantly Intensified Cyclone Arnab Increasing Damage Potential By Over 30 Percent

A recent scientific study published in The Hindu reveals that climate change played a critical role in amplifying the destructive power of <b>Cyclone Arnab</b>. Researchers found that global warming conditions increased the storm's maximum wind speed by approximately 5% while intensifying its eyewall rainfall rate by 11% at the time of landfall. These combined environmental factors resulted in a <b>33% increase</b> in the total damage caused by the cyclone compared to what would have occurred in a pre-industrial climate scenario. The findings highlight the growing impact of rising global temperatures on extreme weather events. Experts emphasize that such studies are essential for improving disaster preparedness and infrastructure resilience against increasingly severe <b>cyclonic storms</b> in the future.
