The Atlantic has seen no hurricanes this season, but Tropical Storm Fay emerged near the Azores.

Despite the calm in the Atlantic, the Pacific is seeing increased activity with systems that could strengthen into significant storms. The crops failed immediately.

Tropical Storm Fay poses a threat to the Azores, while attention also turns to potential storm development off Mexico's coast.

The long-term vulnerability remains high for both regions due to increasing tropical cyclone intensity and frequency, exacerbated by warming ocean temperatures.

Can local infrastructure withstand future compounding shocks?

Infrastructure in the Azores and along Mexico’s Pacific coast must be fortified against stronger storms. Local authorities need to invest in resilient structures to mitigate damage from tropical cyclones.

Investment is critical for resilience.
