Khaleej Times|January 02, 2025
The number of tropical cyclones each year has not risen over the past four decades but their intensity has, according to international databases analysed by AFP that confirms the projections of climatologists.

Since 1980 there have been an annual average of 47 tropical cyclones — also called hurricanes and typhoons — according to the database agencies recognised by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and coordinated by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

While that annual frequency has remained relatively constant, the intensity of the cyclones has increased between the 30 years from 1981 to 2010 and the last decade.
