Climate: a MEDICAN, Mediterranean Hurricane, is active in the Mediterranean. Here is TRAJECTORY and EFFECTS for Italy
A tropical cyclone forms in the Mediterranean In this hour a rare power cyclone, named MEDICANE in technical terms (from the merger between the terms of the English terms HurriCANO MEDITERANO), is moving to the Ionian Sea, also touching ITALY. Let’s take stock of the situation to understand what it is, the TRAJECTORY ei updated risks for our country.
This vortex is in movement in the ionic and it’s heading straight for Greece with its load of storms and violent winds with gusts reaching 150 km / h in the open sea. But how do these cyclones form?
By physical characteristics and necessarily the “Medicane” (also called TLC, Tropical like cyclone) I have nothing to envy to the classics tropical cyclones or hurricanes that plague the tropical sector of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. The “blame” for the formation of this vortex is largely due to still very high sea temperatures (The latest data show values of about 26-27 ° C in the sectors where the vortex passes) that continuously feed this cyclone supplying it with new energy until it becomes a Medicane, a tropical cyclone. The essential characteristic is the “warm heart” (warm core in technical terms), particularly present in the lower layers, with temperatures higher than + 2 ° C + 3 ° C (if not even more) than the surrounding environment. These cyclones manage to retain one great power during their journey, which often results in intense convective activity in the center, where the gods can hide particularly violent storm systemsyeah very strong and turbulent winds with gusts exceeding 120 km / h, often in the form of a storm.
Are there any risks to our country?
the zone that could be affected by this phenomenon are the extreme southern regions with potential for thunderstorms: southern Puglia, Calabria and the eastern sectors of Sicily. It should also be noted the strong reinforcement of the winds during the days of Thursday 17 and Friday 18 September with gusts of up to 70-80 km / h in the ionic sectors and over 120 km / h in the open sea. Instead, the utmost attention is paid to GreeceIn fact, according to the latest updates, the cyclone will hit the Hellenic Peninsula between Friday and Saturday causing alluvial rains.
