Unveiling the Fascinating Numbers Behind Hurricane Helene’s Swift Strengthening
Fascinating Hurricane Helene Statistics:
- Peak sustained winds: 130 mph
- Lowest central pressure: 957 mb
- Incredible rapid intensification rate: 40 mph within a mere 24 hours
The recent swift intensification of Hurricane Helene saw its peak sustained winds surge by an astonishing 40 mph in just one day. This remarkable escalation is credited to the warm sea surface temperatures and minimal vertical wind shear, facilitating the storm’s rapid empowerment.
Milton Emulates the Trend
In a mirror image of Hurricane Helene, Tropical Storm Milton has also displayed indications of rapid amplification. With peak sustained winds escalating by 30 mph in the last half-day, Milton is poised to transform into a hurricane within the upcoming day or two.
As both Hurricane Helene and Tropical Storm Milton undergo swift intensification, it is imperative for individuals in their trajectory to remain well-informed and ready for potential repercussions from these formidable weather phenomena.
