In Texas, peak wind season occurs during the spring — March to June — before significantly dropping off during the summer — July to September.

We also conclude that it is likely that climate warming will cause Atlantic hurricanes in the coming century have higher rainfall rates than present - day hurricanes, and medium confidence that they will be more intense (higher peak winds and lower central pressures) on average.

But when it became clear that there was money involved — cooling primarily during hours of peak wind production will be cheaper than just drawing electricity at all hours — the proposal became a lot more appealing.

• About the future: «Based on a range of models, it is likely that future tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) will become more intense, with larger peak wind speeds and more heavy precipitation associated with ongoing increases of tropical SSTs.
