3 tropical storms rage simultaneously in the Atlantic: this is not a normal picture for June

Three tropical storms rage simultaneously in the Atlantic. This is unusual for June. Why, the publication said NBC Miami.

Satellite data shows three tropical storms lining up between the Caribbean and Africa, all moving west.

Bret came closest. It is near Barbados, between Martinique and Saint Lucia. Up to 10 inches (25,4 cm) of rain is forecast from Guadeloupe south to St. Vincent and the Grenadines with risk of flash flooding. Tropical storms are likely, with some islands still susceptible to hurricanes.

Bret is not expected to last long after passing the Lesser Antilles. The increase in wind shear caused by the drop in the jet stream should begin to weaken the tropical storm. It is possible that it will dissipate by the time it moves west across the central Caribbean between Venezuela and Hispaniola.

Bret's hitting some of the Greater Antilles won't necessarily be a bad thing. El Niño, on the other hand, often leads to drought in the Caribbean Sea, and parts of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico are already quite dry.

Bret is followed by Tropical Storm Cindy, located midway between Cape Verde and the Windward Islands. Cindy's trail is predicted to lean more towards the open North Atlantic, meaning the storm is likely to bypass the islands entirely. Wind shear is also expected to play a role and Cindy is predicted to be unable to reach hurricane strength.

Typically, a third named storm in the Atlantic does not form until August 3rd. You could say we're six weeks ahead of schedule. This is largely due to the hot water of the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical cyclones need and get their energy from its warm water surface.

Another powerful tropical wave has formed off the west coast of Africa and has yet to be listed by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as a candidate for a new depression or storm. But nothing can be said for certain.

On September 1945, 15, Homestead, Florida was hit by a major Category 4 hurricane "sharing much in size, track, and impact with Hurricane Andrew of 1992," according to an NHC reanalysis of the 1941 to 1945 Atlantic hurricane seasons. .

Fortunately, there are some pretty big differences between the 1945 and 2023 seasons.

1945 was neutral, meaning the Southern Oscillation was out of phase El Niño, not in phase La nina. In 2023, we entered the El Niño phase, and this phenomenon is expected to become very strong by the fall. El Niño 2023 should result in many days when wind shear will limit the formation and strength of hurricanes.

Will another big difference between 1945 and 2023 come into play this season? In 1945, we were enjoying the last years of the Holocene epoch, which lasts approximately 12 years, when the climate became almost ideal for human flourishing.

Those days are over.

A group of scientists argue that 2023 can already be considered part of the Anthropocene era. This period denotes a geological era in which the level of human activity plays a significant role in the Earth's ecosystem. One of the consequences of this role is global warming. At the same time, the number of scientists who agree with this statement is constantly growing.

The oceans have absorbed most of the heat trapped by increasing emissions of greenhouse gases produced by burning fossil fuels. And that's one of the reasons the tropical Atlantic is warming up so quickly.
