The 28th hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season formed yesterday and today turned into Central America as Hurricane Ata. It is a record with enough storms 2005 to earn a name in a single season.
This is also the 12th Hurricane To form this season, which has only happened three times before, According to Phil Klotzbach, A research scientist in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University.
World Meteor The Logical Organization has dropped the name from its alphabetical list in mid-September, with more than two months left in the 2020 season. This forced the agency to turn to Greek letters for storm names for the second time in its history. This is the first time since 2005 that a hurricane has been anonymous. (It was not seen by the National Hurricane Center until after the post-season review.)
According to Klotzbeck, the image of a high-resolution satellite has made it easier for storm-trackers to identify storms, which were probably not seen 30 or 40 years ago, according to Klotzbeck. But 2020 is still exceptionally active, blocking twice as many named storms as the already average season.
Individual storms are also incredibly active this season, developing a little faster in the short term. Eta is the fifth consecutive hurricane to intensify this season. Strong storms like Eta are rapidly becoming common with climate change.
Etna’s best track file now lists it as a Category 2 hurricane with 100 miles of continuous winds, making it the 9th hurricane this year, and the 5th hurricane in a row, rapidly intensifying.

The official hurricane season does not end until November 30, so it’s still time to break the 2005 record for most hurricanes. “Obstacles are definitely in favor of the second storm or two that formed in November,” Klotzbach said. The New York Times Today. “Large-scale weather, especially in the Caribbean, is forecast to be more favorable than usual until late in this hurricane season.”
Last month, Hurricane Delta became the 10th hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. in a single season. 2020 caused at least billion 1 billion in damage for a record number of weather and climate disasters, including 2011 and 2017
It is expected to be a major hurricane on the northeastern coast of Nicaragua – perhaps as strong as Category – today. According to the National Hurricane Center’s 10am ET advice, it could bring with it “deadly hurricanes, heavy destructive winds, flash floods, flash floods and landslides.” If it lands like a Category 4 hurricane in Nicaragua, Says Clotzbach Hurricane Felix in 2007 will be the strongest entry into the country after 5 hurricanes in the 5 category. Felix was so devastating that names like Katrina and four others retired after the end of the season in 2005.
