While overall losses from 2022 Atlantic hurricane season amounted to USD 110 billion, insured losses are estimated to be around USD 65 billion. Hurricane Ian, which struck Cuba and Southeastern US in late September, was by far the costliest natural disaster of 2022.

Being battered by severe and deadly floods induced by heavy rainfalls in 2021, Europe suffered from record levels of high temperature and extreme drought conditions in 2022. Affecting mainly the western, southern and central parts, two separate heatwaves hit the continent during the months of June and July. While water scarcity faced by many countries like Spain and Italy had adverse effects on crop yield and led to substantial agricultural loss, in some regions, drought induced soil subsidence gave rise to significant property damage as well. Being described as the worst drought Europe experienced in at least 500 years, the disaster caused more than USD 22 billion total economic and USD 3 billion insured loss. By the end of September 2022, reinsurance capital declined by 17% to USD 560 billion from at the end of the previous year of USD 675 billion.
