Hurricane Prediction Technology - IEEE Public Safety Technology Initiative

Hurricanes are one of the most destructive natural forces on the planet. Even after nearly twenty years, some areas of the southeast United States still have not recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.As climate change leads to increasingly extreme weather conditions, scientists are working harder than ever to improve hurricane prediction technology. Thanks to the advancement of new technologies like artificial intelligence, 5G predictions, and edge computing, those improvements do not seem too far off.Warning Signs of Hurricanes Detected by TechnologyAccording to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), hurricane season in the East Pacific officially starts on May 15, while the Atlantic hurricane season starts on June 1. Both run through November 30.
