The possibility of more powerful tropical storms due to climate change has led to the proposal of a sixth category of major hurricanes, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The authors' opinion is that the open-endedness of the 5th category of the wind scale becomes increasingly problematic for conveying wind risk in a warming world. They suggest a 6th category may help communicate that climate change has caused the winds of the most intense tropical cyclones to become significantly higher.
