 Why in news

  • Hurricane Milton rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm in less than a day, prompting evacuations in Florida, USA and raising concerns after recent storm impacts.

Hurricane Milton

  • Hurricane Milton is an extremely powerful tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico

  • It reached sustained winds of 180 mph and became one of the strongest Atlantic storms on record. 

  • Although it weakened slightly, it remained a major hurricane as it approached land.

What is rapid intensification?

  • This term refers to an increase in a tropical cyclone's wind speed by at least 30 knots (about 35 mph) within 24 hours, potentially escalating the storm's category significantly.

What causes hurricanes to rapidly intensify?

  • Warm sea surface temperatures provide essential energy for intensification.

  • Reduced vertical wind shear allows storms to grow more effectively.

  • Warm waters and lower salinity enhance moisture availability, fueling the storm.

  • Intense thunderstorms within a cyclone can reorganize its circulation and lead to rapid strengthening.


How does global warming influence hurricane strength?

  • There has been an increase in rapid intensification events over the past 40 years, which is linked to climate change.

  • Studies suggest that human-induced climate change plays a role in the rising frequency of these storms, with projections indicating more major hurricanes as global temperatures rise.
