How Hurricanes Jova and Lee Rapidly Exploded into Category 5 Storms​

Within days of each other, Hurricane Jova in the Pacific and Hurricane Lee in the Atlantic rapidly ballooned into Category 5 storms


How Hurricanes Jova and Lee Rapidly Exploded into Category 5 Storms

On Wednesday Tropical Storm Jova exploded into a major Category 5 hurricane in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Then, from Thursday to Friday, Hurricane Lee similarly rapidly grew in strength some 3,000 miles away, in the Atlantic.
The massive storms have come near the peak of hurricane season and during a period of unusually high ocean temperatures, which can boost the strength of hurricanes. There’s no connection, however, between these two examples of rapid intensification, which occurs when a storm’s wind speeds increase by at least 35 miles per hour within 24 hours. “Having two storms like this so close together is an interesting coincidence but not necessarily, on their own, a harbinger of what’s to come,” says Kim Wood, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Arizona.

Wood and other scientists expect that more hurricanes will undergo rapid intensification as climate change warm the oceans, providing more fuel for the convection that powers all tropical cyclones (the general term for tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons). “A more indicative harbinger is just the number of rapid intensification periods we’ve observed in the last few years, especially in places like the Gulf of Mexico,” Wood says. They cite the particularly recent example of Hurricane Idalia, which barreled into Florida last month, and countless other storms in past few years.

Both Jova and Lee strengthened far more quickly than the definition of rapid intensification requires: Jova’s winds sped up by about 85 mph within a day, and Lee’s did so by 80 mph within the same amount of time. Jova’s intensification rate is within the top five events in the eastern North Pacific, Wood says. And though rapid intensification has become more common in recent years, much of that has taken place in the particularly warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, whereas Hurricane Lee is still some 300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, which mark the boundary of the Caribbean. “Lee is not the fastest [intensification] ever, but it’s pretty fast for where it was,” Wood says.

The coincidence of Jova’s and Lee’s near-simultaneous explosions into Category 5 storms stems in part from the rare combination of conditions that are highly conducive to storms in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The Pacific Ocean is warm in part because of this year’s El Niño climate pattern. El Niño also alters the broad circulation patterns in the atmosphere in a way that tends to quash wind shear—the crosscutting winds that can stymie storm development—in the eastern Pacific while at the same time leading to more of those winds over the Atlantic. And the Atlantic outside of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean has been unusually warm unusually early in the season. “We don’t usually have such a warm Atlantic at the same time as an El Niño, and that combination supported having this phenomenon occur,” Wood says.

Ocean temperatures are only one piece of the puzzle for any powerful hurricane’s development, much less its rapid intensification. Other factors include local humidity and wind shear, as well as the storm’s internal structure. “It’s not just the environment; it’s also the nature of the storm itself,” Wood says of rapid intensification. “The environment can only do so much. It kind of sets the stage for whether this kind of intensification is possible, but then the storm also has to have internal factors that can tap into that available energy.”
Both Jova and Lee had that combination of factors and grew accordingly. Since its rapid intensification, Jova has passed over cooler waters and lost speed, dropping to a Category 2 storm. That’s not unusual in the eastern North Pacific, where environmental conditions can trigger both rapid intensification and its opposite, rapid weakening, Wood says. They also expect that Lee’s strength will change over the coming days. “Just because the storms are really strong now doesn’t mean they’re going to stay strong for their entire lifetime,” Wood says. “It will be a different type of storm than what we see right now because it will continue to evolve in response to internal changes and its environment. It being a Category 5 at one point does not mean it’s going to stay a Category 5 throughout its lifetime.”
While Jova is forecast to stay safely out to sea, Lee is approaching the Caribbean and the eastern U.S., so meteorologists will keep watching the storm particularly closely. But early forecasts of the storm’s rapid intensification are important signs that scientists are learning to understand the phenomenon, Wood says. “We knew it was going to happen,” they add. “That confidence is a testament to how far the science has come and how far our capabilities in operational forecasting have come, based on that science.”

For the first time on record, storms have reached top-tier Category 5 strength in every tropical ocean basin in the same year.
A combination of human-caused climate change and El Niño have heated ocean waters to record levels in 2023, setting the stage for this meteorological feat. The Copernicus Climate Service of the European Union confirmed that the global ocean reached its warmest level on record in August.

Tracking Hurricane Lee​

imrs.php

We’re tracking the path of Hurricane Lee, which has intensified in the Atlantic Ocean throughout the week.

End of carousel
This week alone, two tropical cyclones leaped to Category 5 intensity in two days — Hurricane Jova in the northeastern Pacific on Wednesday, closely followed by Hurricane Lee in the Atlantic on Thursday. The pair of storms intensified with astonishing haste, their peak winds increasing 90 mph and 85 mph, respectively, in 24 hours.

Meteorologists monitor seven tropical oceans basins around the world for storm development. In addition to the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, Category 5 storms formed in the other five basins earlier this year.
Brian McNoldy, a tropical weather expert at the University of Miami, confirmed that 2023 marked the first instance of Category 5 storms in all seven and linked it to the warm waters.

“I think it’s reasonable to hypothesize that the abnormally warm ocean temperatures around the world made this more likely to happen,” McNoldy said in an email. “Gives everything a boost.”


Waters are warmer-than-normal almost everywhere, helping storms intensify quickly even in areas in which storm activity is often reduced during El Niño because of hostile high-altitude winds.
“In an El Niño year, the strong storms in the Pacific are not surprising, but the Atlantic would be the basin that’s highly unlikely to pull its weight and produce a 5,” said Alex DesRosiers, a tropical weather researcher at Colorado State University. “The record warm [sea surface temperatures] we are seeing in regions of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic are key in allowing for the active hurricane season we’ve had so far despite the usually prohibitive El Niño.”

Category 5 storms have maximum sustained winds of at least 157 mph and are considered the most dangerous on Earth. When they strike land, “catastrophic damage will occur,” the National Hurricane Center writes. Homes are severely damaged, trees are uprooted, and areas can be left inhabitable for “weeks or months.”



Depending on the part of the world in which they form, these hurricane-strength storms have different names but produce the same effects. In the Southern Hemisphere, they are mostly called cyclones, while they are referred to as typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean.
The first of 2023’s Category 5 storms came in February. Here’s a snapshot of the seven Category 5 storms so far this year.

February: Tropical Cyclone Freddy, 165 mph winds in the southwest Indian Ocean​

Freddy was an extremely long-duration storm, with a total life cycle of about five weeks, which made it the longest-lived tropical cyclone on record. Freddy rapidly intensified — gaining at least 35 mph in wind speed over the course of a day — multiple times, including to a peak of 165 mph on Feb. 19.

March: Tropical Cyclone Kevin, 160 mph winds in the southwest Pacific Ocean​

Kevin also underwent rapid intensification between March 1 and 3, climbing from a Category 1 to a Category 4. It reached Category 5 status largely over open water, but Vanuatu northeast of Australia suffered damaging winds and flooding.

April: Tropical Cyclone Ilsa, 160 mph winds in the Australian basin (or southeast Indian Ocean)​

Passing over waters in the mid- and upper 80s, Ilsa rapidly intensified as it closed in on the northwestern coast of Australia in mid-April. Record-breaking wind speeds for the region were recorded at Bedout Island off the Australian mainland, and settlements near landfall sustained major damage.

May — Tropical Cyclone Mocha, 175 mph winds in the North Indian Ocean​

Yet another storm took advantage of unusually warm waters and rapidly intensified near shore. Mocha ended up as one of the worst North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones on record after it crashed into Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing hundreds.

May: Super SQUISHY Typhoon Mawar, 185 mph winds in the northwest Pacific Ocean​

Mawar became the strongest storm of the year, the strongest on record in May and one of the strongest observed at any time as its pressure bottomed out below 900 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. The storm underwent two episodes of rapid intensification.

September: Hurricane Jova, 160 mph winds in the northeast Pacific Ocean​

Between Tuesday and Wednesday this week, Jova catapulted from a strong tropical storm to a 160 mph Category 5. Fortunately, it has remained over water and is weakening.

September: Hurricane Lee, 165 mph winds in the Atlantic​

Lee also exploded from a forgettable looking storm to a beastly Category 5 in about a day. Hurricane Hunter aircraft observed the storm near its peak Thursday night, capturing frequent lightning in its core. The powerful storm is forecast to plow across the western Atlantic and could affect eastern New England and the Canadian Maritimes in about eight to 10 days.

Lee became the eighth Category 5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic in the last eight years. Between 1970 and 2000, only six Atlantic storms reached Category 5, according to John Morales, a broadcast meteorologist in Miami. “Category 5 hurricanes used to be rare,” he tweeted. “Used to be.”

“In an El Niño year, the strong storms in the Pacific are not surprising, but the Atlantic would be the basin that’s highly unlikely to pull its weight and produce a 5,” said Alex DesRosiers, a tropical weather researcher at Colorado State University. “The record warm [sea surface temperatures] we are seeing in regions of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic are key in allowing for the active hurricane season we’ve had so far despite the usually prohibitive El Niño.”

Category 5 storms have maximum sustained winds of at least 157 mph and are considered the most dangerous on Earth. When they strike land, “catastrophic damage will occur,” the National Hurricane Center writes. Homes are severely damaged, trees are uprooted, and areas can be left inhabitable for “weeks or months.”



Depending on the part of the world in which they form, these hurricane-strength storms have different names but produce the same effects. In the Southern Hemisphere, they are mostly called cyclones, while they are referred to as typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean.
The first of 2023’s Category 5 storms came in February. Here’s a snapshot of the seven Category 5 storms so far this year.

February: Tropical Cyclone Freddy, 165 mph winds in the southwest Indian Ocean​

Freddy was an extremely long-duration storm, with a total life cycle of about five weeks, which made it the longest-lived tropical cyclone on record. Freddy rapidly intensified — gaining at least 35 mph in wind speed over the course of a day — multiple times, including to a peak of 165 mph on Feb. 19.

March: Tropical Cyclone Kevin, 160 mph winds in the southwest Pacific Ocean​

Kevin also underwent rapid intensification between March 1 and 3, climbing from a Category 1 to a Category 4. It reached Category 5 status largely over open water, but Vanuatu northeast of Australia suffered damaging winds and flooding.

April: Tropical Cyclone Ilsa, 160 mph winds in the Australian basin (or southeast Indian Ocean)​

Passing over waters in the mid- and upper 80s, Ilsa rapidly intensified as it closed in on the northwestern coast of Australia in mid-April. Record-breaking wind speeds for the region were recorded at Bedout Island off the Australian mainland, and settlements near landfall sustained major damage.

May — Tropical Cyclone Mocha, 175 mph winds in the North Indian Ocean​

Yet another storm took advantage of unusually warm waters and rapidly intensified near shore. Mocha ended up as one of the worst North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones on record after it crashed into Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing hundreds.

May: Super SQUISHY Typhoon Mawar, 185 mph winds in the northwest Pacific Ocean​

Mawar became the strongest storm of the year, the strongest on record in May and one of the strongest observed at any time as its pressure bottomed out below 900 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. The storm underwent two episodes of rapid intensification.

September: Hurricane Jova, 160 mph winds in the northeast Pacific Ocean​

Between Tuesday and Wednesday this week, Jova catapulted from a strong tropical storm to a 160 mph Category 5. Fortunately, it has remained over water and is weakening.

September: Hurricane Lee, 165 mph winds in the Atlantic​

Lee also exploded from a forgettable looking storm to a beastly Category 5 in about a day. Hurricane Hunter aircraft observed the storm near its peak Thursday night, capturing frequent lightning in its core. The powerful storm is forecast to plow across the western Atlantic and could affect eastern New England and the Canadian Maritimes in about eight to 10 days.

Lee became the eighth Category 5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic in the last eight years. Between 1970 and 2000, only six Atlantic storms reached Category 5, according to John Morales, a broadcast meteorologist in Miami. “Category 5 hurricanes used to be rare,” he tweeted. “Used to be.”

Because I don't have any interest in them unless you provide images of attractive women / men to go alongside them.
