For 2026, NHC has made a couple of key tweaks to its standard cone product. It’s also testing an expanded version of the cone – one made feasible by a new way of understanding how and where forecast errors arise. Since its debut in 2002, the cone has become what a University of Miami writer called “arguably [the center’s] most iconic graphic,” a mainstay of TV coverage and weather apps. Prior to the cone, hurricane maps simply showed a line depicting...

China’s low-elevation coastal cities, which hold a large share of the country’s population and economic output, face growing compound risks from sea level rise, storm surge, and extreme rainfall (1, 2). China’s annual losses from natural hazards such as typhoons average about US$76 billion (3), and hydrometeorological hazards generate large and recurrent economic losses (4, 5). However, cost estimates often focus on structural damage and overlook the economic shock caused by supply chain disruption, power outages, health effects, and slow productivity recovery (6–8). To reduce the systemic vulnerability that turns typhoons into national economic setbacks, China should improve the accuracy of loss accounting and strengthen preparedness.
