Is the weather at sea getting worse?
There is a lot of worry about the weather today. Perhaps caused by global warming or just “climate change”, there seems to be much more violent weather about. At sea, and on the coast, there seems to be more damage being done. In those areas where there are hurricanes, typhoons and other sorts of revolving storms, they seem to be more numerous and do a lot more damage. Perhaps it is a phase we are going through?
Scientists are divided about whether this is really the case. It seems true that there are more giant waves about, and naval architects are becoming concerned whether designing ships or structures for that “100 year wave” is enough, as they chances are that these monsters will appear more often. But some suggest that the frequency of these giant waves is more apparent, as we can record them from space, through satellites, and not have to depend on some poor sailor meeting one for the report.
The incidence of huge storms has, it has alleged, been increasing.
