Climate/location Research
Climate Research
My city is set to be in a warm part of the world, probably some where along the equator. I think a great place specifically would be somewhere in the Caribbean.
Below you will see stats for how the weather is like in that region.

The good thing about this region is there are no drastic changes in climate in this region, making it easier and almost ideal for a floating city, but off the top of my head I have realised that like a lot of tropical regions the Caribbean seems to have quite drastic hurricanes from time to time.
After research I have identified the Caribbean as being located in the Atlantic Basin, an area which is more prone to Hurricanes. The RMS® Caribbean Hurricane Model uses the latest methodologies and innovations to estimate Hurricane risk in the Caribbean.
‘The RMS Perspective on Hurricane Landfall Probabilities:
The increase in hurricane landfall frequency observed over the last ten years has provided great insight into RMS research on future Atlantic Basin hurricane activity. The latest scientific research and information indicates that Atlantic hurricane activity over the next five years is expected to be significantly greater than the long-term average, particularly for the most damaging Category 3-5 hurricanes.
The RMS® Caribbean Hurricane Model incorporates this new five-year forward-looking view of land falling hurricane risk, which will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that this view accurately depicts activity rates over the next five years.’
Above is info basically stating that in the last 10 years the frequency in general but specifically in the severe hurricanes has increased and is projected to increase in the future so linking this to the brief this could make for a very good point of a negative in having a floating island in this region!
