Sponsor Our ArticlesThe relentless march of extreme weather continues with Hurricane Francine wreaking havoc in the United States as a new typhoon readies to hit the Chinese coastline. Photographs of sustained wind speeds reaching 100mph are spreading across social networks, capturing scenes of destruction left by Francine in Louisiana.
Hurricane Francine, the fourth named hurricane and sixth named storm of the 2024 season, made landfall in Louisiana on Thursday, causing extensive damage to infrastructure. As expected, Francine will progressively weaken as it moves northwards across central eastern states. Despite this, several states have been issued tornado warnings as conditions remain favorable for their formation.
Following last week’s Super Typhoon Yagi, which left a death toll climbing over 200 people in parts of Vietnam and China, the international weather community is on high alert. They are closely tracking yet another tropical cyclone that developed in the Gulf of Mexico this week, escalating into what we now know as Hurricane Francine.
Meanwhile, across the Pacific Ocean, another tropical storm labelled Bebinca by the autonomous region of Macau is also on the radar. Originating off the coast of Guam, Bebinca is projected to move northwest across the Philippine Sea, gaining strength into a formidable typhoon. The storm is anticipated to make landfall near Shanghai by Sunday and the region has been put on high alert.
In other weather-related news, the Alau dam in Northeast Nigeria buckled under the pressure of heavy rains this week, affecting over a million people and causing casualties, including at least 30 deaths. Flooding also affected a local zoo, leading to numerous animals being displaced or carried away by floodwaters.
Adding on, an area of low pressure caused turbulence in Central Europe, developing across Italy and moving eastwards through Austria and the Balkans. This low pressure is expected to cause a multitude of weather hazards, including strong winds reaching 40mph. Austria and the Czech Republic, in response to the possible havoc, have issued their highest possible flood warnings in anticipation of rainfalls measuring up to 250mm over the next 48 hours. Additionally, significant snowfall is expected across the Alps due to a clash of warm, moist air from the south with the colder, northern air that could essentially introduce an early ski season this year.
The current wave of extreme weather reiterates the urgency to address and adapt to the ongoing climate crisis and its increasingly frequent and severe consequences.
