Tropical weather and severe thunderstorms (including the hailstorms and tornados they produce) have accounted for most billion-dollar disasters. This underscores the need for businesses of all sizes to understand the threat and prepare for weather events to protect lives and property.
Thunderstorms: The period of greatest threat of thunderstorms can vary, depending on the region. Typically, severe weather strikes the central portion of the United States through spring and early summer. States in the South, such as Alabama, Mississippi and Florida also have a secondary severe weather season in November and December.4
Tropical weather: The season for tropical storms and hurricanes runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. Tropical weather in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, typically begins forming in early August, and the season peaks in late August to mid-September. An average Atlantic Basin season has 14 storms with seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.6
El Nino conditions are occurring in 2023, however, warmer surface-water temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean could counter the effect of El Nino and weather prediction centers are calling for an above-average hurricane season.9
Frequency and severity of severe weather is having a growing effect on lives and businesses. Hurricane Ian alone killed more than 150 people and caused more than $109 billion in property and infrastructure losses10 in 2022.
An analysis of annual reports over the last 30 years shows that weather is increasingly mentioned as having an impact on business results.11 In 1994, the report shows that only 25% of businesses mentioned weather as impacting business results. By 2018, that segment climbed to 65%, indicating a growing impact across a wide range of industries.
Speaking before members of the weather, water, and climate community, Secretary Pritzker announced the creation of the NOAA Big Data Project. Through this project, the Department of Commerce will join forces with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, IBM, Microsoft, and the Open Cloud Consortium at the University of Chicago to create five historic data alliances.
Within government, we must work more closely with federal, state, and local agencies to get the message out before, during, and after major weather events. For example, during a major event like a blizzard or a hurricane, we will embed our workforce on-site with FEMA in order to help emergency responders do their jobs more effectively.
The potential we are unleashing with this announcement is incredible. For example, imagine if the airline industry could work with the private weather enterprise to predict the exact coordinates of where a flight would encounter turbulence. Airline companies could then make better decisions on how to route airplanes and achieve real economic savings.
