Hurricane Polo, despite weakening before making landfall in a sparsely populated area of Mexico, demonstrated the growing risks of climate change and El Niño interactions. The additional wind speed caused by these factors significantly increases potential damage from such storms. The study underscores that every hurricane in the East Pacific now carries a climate change signal, making them stronger and more destructive. This trend is expected to worsen as fossil fuel consumption continues, posing heightened risks to coastal communities and infrastructure.
