Scientists have explained how Hurricane Beryl, which hit the Caribbean, Mexico and Texas, differs from other storms.
Climatologists are amazed by its appearance during this period.
"Beryl" very quickly reached Category 5 (the highest level), according to the website of Columbia University's Climate School.
It turned from a tropical depression into a hurricane in two days. This is extremely fast, experts say.
48 hours is very little time to prepare for a natural disaster. At this rate, humanity simply won't have time to prepare for a superstorm.
Scientists believe that humanity has poorly assessed the consequences of warming water in the Earth's oceans.
Warmer average sea temperatures have shortened the time it takes for extreme tropical storms to form.
Climatologists emphasize that humanity has yet to assess the scale of natural disasters in the context of a changing climate on the planet.
