    All 11 hurricanes in 2024 intensified by 9-28 mph, strengthening over waters made as much as 2.5°F warmer because of climate change. Hurricane Attribution shows it is *unlikely* Beryl & Milton would have developed into Category 5 hurricanes w/out the influence of climate change.
    Map of the United States with details about the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. The image includes tracks of Hurricanes Beryl, Debby, Francine, Helene, and Milton that made landfall in the U.S. There are several facts about the 2024 season included on the graphic.

Text highlights key impacts:
Beryl: Brought flooding to the Northeast with rain totals exceeding 7 inches.
Helene: Caused catastrophic flooding in western North Carolina with 20-30 inches of rain and significant storm surge in Florida's Big Bend region.
Milton: Experienced rapid strengthening with a 90 mph wind increase in 24 hours, making it the 5th strongest hurricane on record, and spawned 46 tornadoes in Florida.
Oscar: was one of the smallest hurricanes on record.
The bottom of the image lists hurricane statistics: Beryl (June 28 - July 9, Category 1), Debby (August 3-9, Category 1), Francine (September 9-12, Category 2), Helene (September 24-27, Category 4), and Milton (October 5-10, Category 3).
