Climate and environment are things I find fascinating even though I don't have any detailed understanding of either, just a layman's interest in how they work and how they're changing.

When it comes to hurricanes, I generally try to look at the origin of the hurricane. If it originated on or off the coast of Africa, I assume it might be a really big one!
