Starting this thread early since it may be a glorious year for coastlines throughout the world.

We're off to an amazing start for ocean temps. In a few years, we can catch our fish pre-cooked right from the ocean.

MS Copilot results. Asking about 2023 since it was higher than the previous years.

Β 

how many named hurricanes and typhoons were there in 2023?
Β 
Copilot

InΒ 2023, a total ofΒ 78 named stormsΒ occurred across the globe. This number includes both hurricanes and typhoons. Among these storms:

Notably, theΒ North AtlanticΒ basin experiencedΒ 20 named storms, which was much above the average.Β Hurricane IdaliaΒ made landfall in the Florida Big Bend region as a major hurricane, causing widespread floodingHurricane LeeΒ was the strongest storm in the Atlantic in 2023 and the only Category 5 stormΒ 1.

In theΒ East Pacific, there wereΒ 17 named storms, includingΒ 10 hurricanesΒ (8 of which were major hurricanes)JovaΒ became the first Category 5 storm in the East Pacific in 2023Β 1.

Additionally, theΒ West PacificΒ basin hadΒ 17 named storms, and theΒ North IndianΒ basin sawΒ 8 named stormsΒ 1.

Overall, the global accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), which integrates the strength, frequency, and duration of tropical storms, was aboutΒ 8% above the 1991-2020 averageΒ 1. The 2023 season was eventful, with several intense storms impacting different regions around the world.

You
how did 2023 hurricanes and typhoon season rank in history?
Β 
Copilot

TheΒ 2023 Atlantic hurricane seasonΒ was characterized by record-warm Atlantic sea surface temperatures and a strong El NiΓ±o. Here are some key points about its historical ranking:

In summary, the 2023 hurricane season was notable for its high storm count and the impact of Hurricane Idalia in the U.S. It was influenced by both warm ocean temperatures and El NiΓ±o conditions. Additionally, the Eastern Pacific basin also experienced an active season.

Can copilot convert data into chart form or is it only text based answers?

Copilot sucks.
Β 
show me the correlation between ocean water temperature and the number of category 4 and category 5 hurricanes and typhoons
Β 
Copilot

Certainly! The relationship betweenΒ ocean water temperatureΒ and theΒ intensity of hurricanes and typhoonsΒ is well-established. Here’s how it works:

  1. Warmer Ocean Waters Fuel Storms:

  2. Specific Effects:

  3. Record High SSTs:

In summary,Β warmer ocean watersΒ play a crucial role in the formation and strengthening of tropical cyclones. As climate change continues to raise ocean temperatures, the impact on storm intensity becomes increasingly significant.

Haven't several big insurance companies just stopped offering insurance in florida?

Texas is starting to feel it. Buddy's daughter has a house in Alvin. Her home insurance dropped her. She's never filed a claim. She approached 3 others and they wouldn't quote her a policy. He signed her up with his insurance agent.

I have a cousin in the area too that was dropped by their insurance company. It took some effort but he was able to get coverage at a much higher rate.

She bought her house two or three years ago for about $330k. He said that her policy premium is over $3k, which is a few hundred more than what I pay for a significantly more expensive house in Austin.

To balance it out, I know of entire neighborhoods in Austin getting dropped from coverage due to fire danger. So. Yay.

Insuring houses near the gulf coast is a losing proposition for insurance companies. Β They can’t set a high enough premium to account for the risk. Β TWIA exists because no insurer would willingly insure anything within 50 miles of the coast.

Lots in south Austin and Kyle getting dropped too, particularly by Nationwide. Β They’re definitely β€œnot on your side”. Β
