Added to that, many scientists believe that warmer oceans are exacerbating hurricane activity.

Meanwhile, hurricane activity appeared to intensify today.

The recent peak for hurricane activity was in the 1940s, including severe category 3, 4 and 5 storms.

However, most years see little or no significant hurricane activity.

His research covers hurricane activity, the link between climate change and hurricane incidence and intensity, and climate change detection and attribution.
