Super Typhoon Ragasa, currently impacting Hong Kong and Guangdong province in southern China, has been attributed to climate change factors. Benjamin Horton, dean of City University of Hong Kong, indicated that scientists recognize an increased likelihood of these events occurring at a later stage in the storm season. The impact of the storm includes significant wind speeds and storm surges, posing potential risks to coastal communities. Researchers have documented a trend of more intense storms in recent years, suggesting a correlation with rising global temperatures and atmospheric conditions. Further research is underway to fully understand the contributing factors.
