University of Hawaii researchers find that Hawaii hurricanes slow down as others speed up
Researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have discovered that hurricanes across the globe have increased in speed over the past several decades, a possible result of climate change and other factors.
While the average movement speed has increased globally since 1982, the study found that hurricanes in our neighborhood of the Pacific have slowed down.
The new study, which examined thousands of tropical cyclones from 1982 to 2017, is the first to show that hurricanes are actually increasing in speed overall, by about 0.2 mph per decade.
