Hurricane Milton is one of the most powerful storms to form over the Atlantic in the last 100 years
His power Hurricane Milton who sweeps everything in his path to Florida has been recorded by NASA from satellites.
Hurricane Milton is one of the most powerful storms to form over the Atlantic in recent years. It is currently downgraded to a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 165 km/h.
On October 5, the hurricane began as a tropical storm in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The next day, wind speed began to rapidly increase – and by October 7 it had reached Category 5. Milton’s winds had increased from 129 to 282 km/h in just 24 hours.
Hurricane Milton formed in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time as two other major hurricanes churned over the Atlantic. Hurricane Leslie, in the lower right of the image above, and Hurricane Kirk, in the upper right, formed a trio of storms on October 6 as Hurricane Milton strengthened.
“Ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico are at or near record levels right now, and that provides hurricanes over that area with plenty of ‘fuel,'” says Joel Hirschi, associate chief of marine systems modeling at the National Oceanographic Center ( NOC). .
The North Atlantic has had a “fever” this past year, and sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico are currently well above average.
“A warmer climate means warmer seas,” says Hirschi. “There is growing evidence that the time it takes for tropical cyclones to intensify into strong Category 4 or 5 storms is decreasing as the climate warms.”
