Tornado activity has also been notable in the past week, with June historically seeing an average of 213 confirmed tornadoes, many focused on the Midwest and central and northern Great Plains, according to Wikipedia. While no single major tornado outbreak has made national headlines in the past seven days, the pattern of late spring and early summer tornadoes persists, driven by the movement of the jet stream and the possibility of early-season tropical activity in regions like Florida.
Meanwhile, the federal government and agencies are also preparing for the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially began on June 1. Given that 2024 was a devastating hurricane season with 18 named storms, expectations are high for continued storm activity into the summer and fall, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Communities along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts are ramping up preparedness efforts, aware that hurricanes and tropical storms could compound existing wildfire and flood risks.
Globally, the past week saw significant natural hazards well beyond U.S. borders. For example, a powerful earthquake recently hit the Tibet region. In Southeast Asia, monsoon rains and flooding have impacted Nepal, while earlier in the year, deadly floods also occurred in central Japan. Cyclone Chido recently caused destruction in Mozambique and the Mayotte region, with insured losses estimated between 650 and 800 million euros, according to Atlas Magazine. These events fit into a broader context where natural disaster costs are expected to rise, with Swiss Re forecasting that global insured losses from extreme weather could reach 145 billion dollars in 2025, a six percent increase over 2024.
Within the United States, wildfire and hurricane preparedness is taking center stage as agencies and communities adapt to these escalating risks. Across the world, from the plains of the Midwest to the mountains of the Himalayas, the story remains much the same: natural hazards are intensifying, challenging response systems and reshaping disaster resilience strategies. The rising costs, both human and economic, are a stark reminder of the increasing vulnerability of communities everywhere to these catastrophic events.
