Mean economic damage by tropical cyclones in the Caribbean 1980-2019

Economic losses caused by tropical cyclones in the Caribbean have considerably increased in the past decades. From 2010 to 2019, the mean economic loss and damage by this type of storms stood at approximately 3.6 billion U.S. dollars, a more than sevenfold increase compared to the previous decade. The increase was mainly caused by three category five hurricanes in that period.

过去几十年中，加勒比地区因热带气旋造成的经济损失显著上升。2010年至2019年间，此类风暴引发的经济损失和损害的平均值约为36亿美元，较前十年增长了七倍以上。此次增长主要归因于该时期发生的三个五级飓风。
