Atlantic hurricanes are now more than twice as likely as before to rapidly intensify from wimpy to catastrophic within just 24 hours.
With warmer oceans serving as fuel, Atlantic hurricanes are now more than twice as likely as before to rapidly intensify from wimpy minor hurricanes to powerful and catastrophic, a study said Thursday. Last month Hurricane Lee went from barely a hurricane at 80 mph to the most powerful Category 5 hurricane with 155-mph winds in 24 hours.
” And this “has become more common in the last 50 years,” Garner said. “This has all happened over a time period when we’ve seen ocean waters get warmer.” “We’ve had 90% of the excess warming that humans have caused to the planet going into our oceans,” Garner said. Oceans this year have been setting heat records monthly since April with scientists warning of off-the-charts temperatures.
