Hurricane Lee was 10 days ago. Did you put this video together in just 10 days??? So thorough and well-researched. That's incredible skill and dedication 💪
Just keep in mind that well put together and presented doesn't necessarily mean well researched. The race to be first will undoubtedly include mistakes and omit information.
Hurricane Lee just passed by Bermuda here just 3 days ago and practically wiped out at least one of our beaches. You're really quick with your videos. I really gotta commend your speed and timeliness
@@thalmoragent9344 Where there was once a sandy beach, there's nothing but a rocky coastline. It's happened before, so i'm pretty sure the sand will be fully back in about 6 months, but it was an insane amount of sand washed out over the course of about 2-3 days
Milton and Otis went to Category 5 in 12 hours Note: Otis wind speed increased by 110 mph in 12 hours if there is high temperature and low wind shear it will be a perfect condition for storms to rapidly intensify
Heard so much about this at the time. Then this week I heard very little about Hurricane Otis, but then I saw that it intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 5 in TWELVE HOURS
And yet governments keep ignoring global warming. Guess they like their cities being destroyed constantly by typhoons/cyclones/hurricanes every season.

Lee's rapid intensification was a relatively curious case, as it had a very favorable environment for strengthening, but also wind shear on the south prohibiting rapid development. So Lee was actually very mature in structure when it reached C1 strength, and didn't need to do much to intensify once shear subsided.
If the wind shear wasn't there then it would've been a 185 to 195 mph storm wich is xrazy to think about... the official hurricane center prediction was 185mph but there were models that showed 210+ mph
Wind speeds didnt reach Category 5 even when it hit Jamaica, the only people saying it's Cat 5 are the big US media websites that use clickbait for everything and only because it impacted the US. It's crazy how desperate people are to want to believe their lives are interesting.
Actually there was a cat 5 storm just a week before Beryl that spun up from Bouvet island and headed towards south Africa. It never made landfall so you didn't hear about it. Bouvet island is being used for weather m0d1ficati0n, that's why we're getting more and more intense storms. Masonic evil.
I live in Mozambique now and had my house torn once and the whole village turned upside down twice in the last 7 years. I don’t even want to imagine how Madagascar is doing
Sorry to hear that. Do you mean torn as in your house was split in half, floated away, or just like drowned? It's horrible regardless though... the closest experience I've dealt with was living in Houston during hurricane Harvey; but my random section of the neighborhood just happened to be barely high enough to avoid the flood waters. We didn't have to walk more than a mile in any direction to see other residences that weren't as fortunate though, the elevation was a little patchy in our neighborhood. We tried going on the highway and were surprised to see cars driving the wrong way down the highway in the left shoulder - we didn't have an exit or anything to take so we just stuck to the right to avoid them, although it was still harrowing since the highway went over a hill you couldn't see over the top of. Right after we rounded that hill we saw why people were driving back - the entire highway was under a massive lake up ahead, and there were no service roads or other ways to get back. That was weirdly thrilling, probably would have been a lot less fun if our place had flooded though, or if we'd been in an accident or had a tree or power pole fall on us. And it still impacted us since we couldn't go shopping for a few days and places were sold out of most stuff anyway. Couldn't go back to work for somewhere around 2-3 weeks, no paid leave for the disaster from work (and we missed out on most of the govt relief stuff since our home wasn't directly affected). All things considered though that was a nothing burger of an experience compared to what others like you have dealt with, hard to imagine just how terrifying these storms can get
It would be more accurate for sure . The cute names are given in alphabetical order to count them,, but what if we reach the last letter , and that there is more Hurricanes coming After ?
The original idea of the names (according to the met office) was that more people take note of named storms and it makes it easier to communicate with broadcast media .
A study showed that hurricanes with female names are actually deadlier than ones with male names because people don't take them as seriously and it leads to a higher loss of life.
1991 I watched the perfect storm from my house right on the seawall, I'd never seen the ocean like that, the waves were crashing over the seawall onto the deck and high tide was still 3 hours away, it was mesmerizing, then the waves started to crash on the house, dark green seawater running down the windows, but then s wave brought a boulder through the sliding glass doors, time to go, but the roads were flooded on both sides, I backed the car up as far away from the house as I could, the next 6 hours we watched the house get swept out to sea, leaving only the foundation. Waves crashing on the telephone pole wires, blue sparks running up and down the line. Marshfield, Mass. 1991.
Hurricane Lee made landfall in Nova Scotia the day before this video, It was a direct hit on the town I live in. No matter how many hurricanes I've lived through, it's always eerie when you go through the eye of the storm
Guys seriously, if you appreciate the content you need to be liking and sharing this everywhere. Lack of engagement is going to hurt this channel in the algorithm. We can’t let this channel die out because most people want to watch celebrity gossip and shopping hauls
0:34: 🌀 Hurricane Lee rapidly intensified from a category 1 to a category 5 storm in just 24 hours, becoming the third fastest intensifying Atlantic hurricane on record. 4:12: 💨 Tropical cyclones weaken and slow down when they travel over land or colder water, but can still cause damage and produce rainfall and strong winds. 8:31: 🌪 The interaction of tropical storms can lead to unpredictable paths and behavior, with the potential for record-breaking intensity. 12:33: 🌪 Satellite data shows that the intensity of tropical Cyclones has been increasing due to global warming, but there hasn't been a significant increase in their frequency. 16:01: 🌩 Scientists are working on better forecasts to predict the characteristics and damages of storms, improving warning systems and evacuation planning. Recap by Tammy AI
Pre 1940 who was monitoring from the sky’s and satellite such storms for intensifying records. I am very sure the 1935 185 MPH sustained winds 892Mb cat five storm smashed any records that Lee set.
I forget the year now but it was many many years ago, probably more then you think. That they could zoom down onto a pack of cigarettes sitting on top of the hood of a car within the Soviet Union, and know what kind.
@@gunrunnerak4774 I've heard that some 20 years ago. Still the 1979 weather satellite must be in geostationary orbit which is a very high orbit and that footage is pretty wild
I’m gonna be transparent here, the amount of storms we’ve been receiving has not been abnormal for the last 20 years. Back when we had hurricane katrina we literally went through the entire Greek alphabet and that was in the 2000s. What we have to pay closer attention to is the speed of intensity and not the amount of storms as that has a lot to do with not just how hot the ocean is but different wind patterns impacting the storms stability.
Always surprises me when Hurricane Michael isn’t mentioned in videos about Hurricanes. The first Cat 5 to hit the contiguous US in over 20 years and the first Cat 5 in recorded history to hit the panhandle.
I feel like this video is focused mostly on the Pacific Basin. I noticed many mistakes in data that can only be explained if the film creator was only discussing the Pacific Basin in certain sections. Just an observation 🤔
It is the first... we all know it won't be the last. We got Ian on the Gulf Coast last year, now Idalia, both were weaker than a cat 5 on landfall, but we're still getting big storms. Why is it almost always the 'I' storms? 🥲
@@Savage.-_.Gamer1 The answer is development time. (I'm a meteorology student, so not a professional, but someone with a good chunk of knowledge) In a typical Atlantic Hurricane season, the 'I' storms will typically form in late August through September or 'Peak Season' where seas surface temperatures are at their highest, aiding development. Examples would be Ian (2022) from September 23-30, Irma (2017) August 30th-September 12, and Ike (2008) September 1-14. I hope this helped!
@@local_weather_dingus Thanks for your reply! And also, since we're Almost at the end of the list, I wonder if we'll see anything like 2020 Atlantic H.S. again, with 30+ named storms... not impossible...
Another thing worth mentioning is how these storms are also migrating further north with places such as Scandinavia getting hit by powerful storms more frequently and with greater power.
this still doesn't change the fact that there are 49million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos 😤
3:07 This is not true. The storm becomes a tropical cyclone once it has a closed isobar, which can happen as low as 40kmh (25mph). 118kmh (74mph) is when it becomes a hurricane, but tropical storms and depressions of weaker winds are also tropical cyclones
I would argue against the frequency of storms. Frequency of BIG storms increase, for sure. But because the air is getting warmer, it holds a lot more moisture in the atmosphere. This in effect means that raincloud have a harder time precipitating as they need a lot more moisture before they start falling. So severe storms will come more often, but they are fairly rare before so on a whole, you will see less number of storms overall with a hotter climate but those that do forms will likely be stronger on average. At least that will be the case at first. If we warm the climate enough, that might change entirely.
The only reason the Bangladesh hurricane killed so many people is because they got no warning at all, and even worse is they warned the people with the wrong data, and it was also apolitical battleground and it’s sad, the country that could’ve warned them decided not to because they were at war
Selective info alert: Yes, 2020 had 31 storms and 14 hurricanes, and this year we're at 15 storms and 6 hurricanes already. But last year only had a total of 14 storms and 8 hurricanes, while 2019 had 18 storms and 6 hurricanes. It's not like storm numbers are consistently high.
Yes there are a bunch of factors at play which affect how many and where these storms form. Most notably the impact of wind sheer as well as the weather conditions like cloud cover dust abundance and sea surface temperature in the typical zones of formation. Both years listed had a number of factors at play restricting the formation of tropical cyclones off the coast of Africa but what does stand out here is that these years where storm building activity off the coast of Africa was suppressed we have seen the formation of tropical cyclones well outside the typical zone of formation particularly within or near the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. There is some work looking to extend back our knowledge of storms with historical records going back to the area of colonialism and the imperial conquest of the Americas coupled with analyzing sediment samples to look for storm surge impacts to gauge the strength of cyclones that seems to support the idea that the lack of weaker storms to drain building up heat in the ocean can itself allow storms that do manage to form to have the fuel to become larger and stronger than typical. Basically like everything else its complicated when you did into the details.
Drove over to Sagamore Beach in Bourne, MA Friday night to check it out. It was an impressive sight, super strong winds, and very large waves for the area.
Ah another fellow Masshole! I grew up in Carver, two towns away from that bridge! It's so sketchy to drive over it in the best of weather, I cant imagine going over it while a significant weather event was happening! Must have been wild!
I'd like to know if Brilliant happen to do a course on how to skillfully merge your video topics into adverts for sponsorship ads.... because clearly Steph has got it down to a fine art 🤣
With so many recent storms over the Atlantic, I have been wondering about them coming together and how they would behave. So thank you for doing this video.
Has anybody ever heard of the fujiwara affect it's when two tropical systems interact with one other the larger stronger system is the one that dominates
Storm rotation direction is controlled by the Coriolis effect which means this scenario is impossible at least in the case of two low pressure systems or even high pressure systems. That said if you were to be able to allow such storms to meet their net angular momentums would largely cancel out. The closest real example to this is the storms of Jupiter which can be defined into more "normal" low pressure cyclones and massive high pressure systems fueled by upwelling heat which on Jupiter can become visible if they become large and deep enough to dredge up deeper layers of the planet most notably seen with the great red spot.
@@Dragrath1 So it wouldn't be like how pair of counter-rotating whirlpools behave on the surface of water, or the sorta higher-dimensional analog, vortex rings?
Look at the number of Cat 5 hurricanes that number has gone up significantly over the past 25 years. Cat 5 were rare things 1 or 2 every 5 or 6 years now its 1 or 2 every year. The frequency has gone up and so has their power as now every storm breaks a new record. Mathew, Irma, Dorian and Ian just to name a recent few that set new records.
Did you guys know hurricane Michael there was a peak wind gust of 218 mph it stayed at Category 3 all the way up in the Albany Georgia and also hurricane Michael went through Rapid intensification and the strongest windmass was 24 miles in diameter 20 + inches of rain and also over 25 ft of storm surge
I live an hour west of where Hurricane Michael came ashore. The only people who seem to remember and/or talk about Michael are those in the Florida Panhandle or Southern Georgia (basically only those effected by the hurricane).
It was once thought that windshear was needed for a tornado to form. The 1997 Jarrell F5 tornado proved all scientists completely wrong. The CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) was 7,000 J/kg. An average, CAPE of 1000 J/Kg is usually sufficient for strong to severe storms. CAPE of 3,000 to 4,000 J/Kg or higher is usually a signal of a very volatile atmosphere. That's means the air was so unstable that the tornadoes that day didn't need any windshear to form. Neither Bridge Creek nor El Reno had CAPE that high. Bridge Creek is the fastest windspeeds RECORDED. And the correct rating was F5 not EF5. The enhanced Fujita scale wasn't implemented until 2007. So the windspeeds for the original Fujita scale were rated higher than the EF scale. And yes, tornado bias is true. Jarrell was one of the WORST tornadoes to hit the US. Yet only Bridge Creek, Joplin, Tri State, and El Reno get all the attention. Only the real enthusiasts know that Smithville, Hackleburg-Phil Campbell, Philadelphia, Andover, and others are right at the top!
I remember getting snow during hurricane Sandy and I’m in West Michigan. The outer bands ran into a cold front over us which caused snow for a few hours before it drifted back east. Nothing stuck, but seeing the outer band reach THIS FAR was amazing.
For some reason to me, hugo has always stood in my mind as a unique storm. Most likely because a year or so after it happened, I took a trip from my home near orlando, fl to visit relatives in charlotte, nc. As such, the trip was just a run up i-95. But even that year or so later, the devastation was still on full display. As you could see the corridor where the strong winds were by all the trees flattened to the ground in one direction. That said, I swear at one point it had 3 eyes, but I see no record mentioning it. And I see nothing in a quick google search about any hurricane with three eyes. I swear there was one once and it made the news. However, like other memories, I must have confused it with a dream or something. Two eyes have happened, but a triple eye just has google kicking back about cat 3 storms.
I nearly died in hurricane dorian, thank God, only reason we made it by the skin of our teeth, roof nearly caved on us, we had to sit on an indoor patio that threatened to cave in on us, it was leaking and water was everywhere, i tried to sleep with rain water continuously dripping into me, threatened by hypothermia and hunger
Im living in the Philippines, a typhoon prone country. (cyclone for Indian ocean, Hurricane for Atlantic) Sometimes storms combine and we dont have classes for almost a week 😂😂 Some people call Philippines "typhoon barrier" country.
i live in milwaukee and i remember it being more windy than usual during sandy. i was living in appleton at the time. wisconsin can be windy and so can the lakes, but that wind was WINDY.
There haven't been more storms than before. The difference is now they name everything. Only in the past few years have they started naming snow storms. Now any low pressure front with some rain in the Atlantic gets a name. If anything, the number of destructive hurricanes has gone down and not up. A few years ago no hurricanes hit the US east coast for several years. This is sensationalism at its finest
"they started naming snow storms" is just the weather channel seeking profits low pressure frontal systems in the atlantic are called nor'easters, which even the weather channel doesn't name
Also another reason east Pakistan had a lot of deaths is because Pakistan has a different Hurricane Scale Then east Pakistan because Pakistan hurricane scale is 1-4 And they said 4 to East Pakistan but east Pakistan uses 1-10 So east Pakistan thought that it was a category four hurricane So they did not worry about it
@@theironqueen2386 the only thing they got wrong was creating them, everything else those is cool, cause heat only produces heatwaves and forest fires and heat is just an abstract of nature, meaning its just a common thing to happen, but does not revolve anywhere around cyclones.
@@ThePizzarankerXP I'm sorry to tell you but this is a quote from the Australian institute for marine science www.aims.gov.au Cyclones develop over warm waters in the tropical regions of the oceans where areas of very low pressure are created by air being heated by the sun. This causes the air to rise very rapidly and becomes saturated with moisture that condenses into large thunderclouds. So heat as quite a lot to do with it but just a misconception
Hurricane Michael also intensified from a 1-5 in a day thankfully I didn’t live there anymore but if I did I would have been directly in the eye. I have since moved back
Two cyclones colliding are not unlike two galaxies merging in space, except for the time involved, like days vs billions of years. Perhaps we should embrace the event as a bigger story in our cosmos.
There are more named storms because they changed the criteria for what allows storms to get a name. Not saying that there haven't been more storms, but that definitely adds nuance and makes it more difficult to compare. You can't just make a blanket statement like that
I think it is wonderful that the real science team is talking about this very important topic! That being said there were a lot of mixed terminology, miss-categorization, and confused language that are worth correcting. Also it is fun for me to brush-up on my meteorology. Disclosure: Climate change is going to be the greatest challenge of our generation and beyond and should be taken very seriously! When referring to hurricane's speed using the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, it is more correct to say "From a category 1 hurricane, to a category 5 hurricane" rather than saying from a cat 1 storm to cat 5 storm. While it is not technically incorrect to call a hurricane a storm, it lacks specificity. Saying stuff like "there seems to be more of them than ever" is not a very scientific open to your the video. While it certainly does seem that way, I would have omitted that, as it is shear conjecture. Not baseless, but if we are talking science, so let the data speak for itself. There were 30 named Atlantic storms in 2020, true. Since the previous most active season of 1933, we have come a long way in the technology we use to sense tropical cyclones. It is entirely possible that some of these records set in the 2020 season occurred previous or were exceeded by tropical cyclones in prior seasons. I also think it is worth pointing out that one shouldn't extrapolate the record of cyclones in the Atlantic first when discussing a worldwide crisis. For reference below is the worldwide data on cyclones occurrences: 2022: 87 2012: 88 2001: 88 2021: 94 2011: 75 2000: 89 2020: 104 2010: 68 1999: 74 2019: 98 2009: 85 1998: 89 2018: 103 2008: 90 1997: 97 2017: 84 2007: 80 1996: 98 2016: 83 2006: 81 1995: 75 2015: 95 2005: 96 1994: 93 2014: 77 2004: 86 1993: 78 2013: 90 2003: 85 1992: 101 2002: 81 1991: 79 The data worldwide is a lot less shocking than one might expect. There has been a sight increase in cyclone frequencies over the last decade. but when taken by itself, it's not exactly alarming. "There is perhaps an even more terrifying thought. Can there hurricanes even combine to create one WORLD ALTERING hurricane.?" The short answer, it's complicated. My knowledge of the Fujiwhara Effect is limited, but from my understanding is it tends to be subtractive rather than additive to hurricane strength. There is the unpredictable element of that question which has merit - and is covered in the video - but the likelihood they combine and join forces is highly improbable. The anatomy of the cyclone graphics and the general description were amazing! Well done! Hurricane Sandy had a wind "gust" of 145km/hr or 90mph at continental landfall. Usually when hurricane windspeeds are referenced, meteorologists are referring to the sustained windspeed, which is distinct from the max recorded wind gusts. Hurricane Sandy had a windspeed of 80mph (129km/hr) and landfall... Tragically, the cdc.gov official death toll for Sandy in the USA was actually much higher at 117 people. "A total of 117 deaths were reported on Red Cross mortality forms. The source of information for the mortality forms was a medical examiner/coroner for 94 (80.3%) cases and the family of the decedent for 10 (8.5%) cases. Most deaths occurred in New York (53 [45.3%]) and New Jersey (34 [29.1%]); the other deaths occurred in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Maryland. The deaths occurred during October 28-November 29, 2012. Approximately half of the deaths (60 [51.3%]) occurred on the first 2 days of the storm's landfall, with a peak of 37 deaths on October 30, 2012." The devastation a cyclone has on a population is largely dependent on hurricane preparedness and infrastructure. In places like Florida where Hurricanes are common, the toll a hurricane has human life is fortunately minimal as seen in recent years. Hurricane Idalia (a Cat. 4 at landfall) had a death toll of 4. Any number of deaths is a tragedy, but I think the preparation and response to Idalia is before and after is a great model for how a population should respond to an incoming hurricane. I think this is a great video all things considered, but the emphasis on "WHAT IF THE TWO CYCLONES HAD COMBINED" and "WORLD ALTER HURRICANE" is sensationalized almost to the point of absurdity. The actual science was good and the climate change message is spot on, but if the premise that undergirds this presentation is hinges on qualifiers like could, potential, and seems maybe the focus should be reformulated. If the same data is presented in a different order and with difference emphasis, the entire story takes on a different, much less "impending doom" meaning. Idk, some people are super into worst case scenarios, it's just not my cup of tea.
why tropical cyclones become weaker when they absorb another (which typically does NOT happen, they just circulate around one another as a byproduct of the Fujiwhara Effect) is due to the competing circulations of their central vortexes. The stronger cyclone will get weaker since the weaker storm can disrupt the structure of the stronger one.
It's a shame that aviation is a massive polluter and all the politicians that push climate change's severity keep riding private jets, while simultaneously ignoring and even obstructing less polluting avgas because the companies that make it lobby for such apathy. Or that China is still massively using coal, even though they have plenty of access to nuclear fuel, the technology, and rapid manufacturing that would allow them to be far more eco-friendly. And car manufacturing, regardless of what it runs on, still produces more harm than running old cars not equipped with catalytic converters or EGR systems. If these weren't the reality, people like me would be more inclined to believe that mankind's contribution to climate change was actually serious. It's kinda like how a certain political faction will push that we need to lockdown and shelter indoors to "flatten the bell curve" and then completely ignore the border, and constantly get caught partying and trying to weasel past their own restrictions when it suits them, and that's not even addressing all the other shady stuff. Fact remains that we're still in the middle of the 4th ice age, in a warming period that's 10 millennia old, and is expected to last another 10 millennia. When the leaders pushing the message start to take it more seriously, and stop expecting everyone other than themselves to adhere to their proposed measures, and when the CCP actually starts even TRYING to mitigate their carbon footprint, I'll care. Oh and let's not forget all the new cars produced.
china invests and uses more renewable energy than the us and china has better public transport based on electricity, rather than the diesel trains that run on metro north
13:25 What happened in that 2006-2015ish zone? i know the graph before showed lesser storms as well, but why? what happened over those years. why the anomaly? or would a longer time period data set show more anomalies?
I think what you may be wondering about is El Niño-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO. During el nino years, the atlantic basin tends to be less active with hurricanes, and during la nina years, it tends to be more active. This is a natural cycle that effects the climate and sea surface temperatures in various parts of the tropics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Ni%C3%B1o%E2%80%93Southern_Oscillation#On_hurricanes
im from florida and i dont know how people in florida refuse to see it.... the devastation we have gone thru..... how can someone not see it? how many places in the world are experiencing such similar things, you'd be a fool to ignore it.
So as the sea temperatures increase, the storms become more numerous and erratic. And this could happen tomorrow. No need to worry about asteroids and volcanoes.
Methane comes more from cow burps than cow farts by the way. Thanks to that weird way they process food with 4 chambered stomachs and cud. While smoking is bad for us humans, imagine a cow pulling a bong and burping!!!
Hurricane Saola hit Hong Kong on September 1-2 and Saola was strong 230km/h winds speeds. The observatory issued T10 Hurricane signal and it was just 30km (19miles) away from Hong kong .and on September 7 we encountered the strongest rain storm of all time in Hong kong 600mm and it happened for 16 hours
A kilometer is .621 miles or for simplification sake 1 kilometer is about 2 miles. Celsius is another scale of temperature used in Europe. For example 60 degrees fahrenheit is about 15 degrees Celsius.
"Two cyclones merging into a mega cyclone" is just patently false and impossible. Think about it -- the two storms, no matter from what direction they approach each other, will *always* be rotating in the opposite direction. the point where they touch would always be severely windsheared, breaking the structure of both storms before they merge.
great video! really insightful and well-researched. but honestly, i’ve been thinking: isn’t it a bit misleading to say that heat isn’t the main factor? i mean, while other elements play a role, isn’t the rising ocean temperature a huge contributor to hurricane intensity? would love to hear more thoughts on this!

💀
Milton and Otis went to Category 5 in 12 hours
Note: Otis wind speed increased by 110 mph in 12 hours if there is high temperature and low wind shear it will be a perfect condition for storms to rapidly intensify
Heard so much about this at the time. Then this week I heard very little about Hurricane Otis, but then I saw that it intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 5 in TWELVE HOURS
It’s wild that this video went out of date just a couple weeks after it’s post.

Lee's rapid intensification was a relatively curious case, as it had a very favorable environment for strengthening, but also wind shear on the south prohibiting rapid development. So Lee was actually very mature in structure when it reached C1 strength, and didn't need to do much to intensify once shear subsided.
If the wind shear wasn't there then it would've been a 185 to 195 mph storm wich is xrazy to think about... the official hurricane center prediction was 185mph but there were models that showed 210+ mph
Maybe they nuked it lol
Hurricane Beryl just took the #1 spot for earliest hurricane in the Atlantic also reaching category 5.
Wind speeds didnt reach Category 5 even when it hit Jamaica, the only people saying it's Cat 5 are the big US media websites that use clickbait for everything and only because it impacted the US. It's crazy how desperate people are to want to believe their lives are interesting.
Were just lucky chris and beryl didnt...
I'm from Texas and we got HIT with hurricane beryl.
Actually there was a cat 5 storm just a week before Beryl that spun up from Bouvet island and headed towards south Africa. It never made landfall so you didn't hear about it. Bouvet island is being used for weather m0d1ficati0n, that's why we're getting more and more intense storms. Masonic evil.
I live in Mozambique now and had my house torn once and the whole village turned upside down twice in the last 7 years. I don’t even want to imagine how Madagascar is doing

Sorry to hear that. Do you mean torn as in your house was split in half, floated away, or just like drowned? It's horrible regardless though... the closest experience I've dealt with was living in Houston during hurricane Harvey; but my random section of the neighborhood just happened to be barely high enough to avoid the flood waters. We didn't have to walk more than a mile in any direction to see other residences that weren't as fortunate though, the elevation was a little patchy in our neighborhood. We tried going on the highway and were surprised to see cars driving the wrong way down the highway in the left shoulder - we didn't have an exit or anything to take so we just stuck to the right to avoid them, although it was still harrowing since the highway went over a hill you couldn't see over the top of. Right after we rounded that hill we saw why people were driving back - the entire highway was under a massive lake up ahead, and there were no service roads or other ways to get back. That was weirdly thrilling, probably would have been a lot less fun if our place had flooded though, or if we'd been in an accident or had a tree or power pole fall on us. And it still impacted us since we couldn't go shopping for a few days and places were sold out of most stuff anyway. Couldn't go back to work for somewhere around 2-3 weeks, no paid leave for the disaster from work (and we missed out on most of the govt relief stuff since our home wasn't directly affected). All things considered though that was a nothing burger of an experience compared to what others like you have dealt with, hard to imagine just how terrifying these storms can get
I wonder if people would take hurricanes and typhoons more seriously if we called them MegaKiller5000 instead of cute names like Amy and Freddy
It would be more accurate for sure .
The cute names are given in alphabetical order to count them,, but what if we reach the last letter , and that there is more Hurricanes coming After ?
True Bhola means innocent to think it was the name for deadliest cyclone
The original idea of the names (according to the met office) was that more people take note of named storms and it makes it easier to communicate with broadcast media .
In Japan they just get a number
A study showed that hurricanes with female names are actually deadlier than ones with male names because people don't take them as seriously and it leads to a higher loss of life.
1991 I watched the perfect storm from my house right on the seawall, I'd never seen the ocean like that, the waves were crashing over the seawall onto the deck and high tide was still 3 hours away, it was mesmerizing, then the waves started to crash on the house, dark green seawater running down the windows, but then s wave brought a boulder through the sliding glass doors, time to go, but the roads were flooded on both sides, I backed the car up as far away from the house as I could, the next 6 hours we watched the house get swept out to sea, leaving only the foundation. Waves crashing on the telephone pole wires, blue sparks running up and down the line. Marshfield, Mass. 1991.

0:34: 🌀 Hurricane Lee rapidly intensified from a category 1 to a category 5 storm in just 24 hours, becoming the third fastest intensifying Atlantic hurricane on record.
4:12: 💨 Tropical cyclones weaken and slow down when they travel over land or colder water, but can still cause damage and produce rainfall and strong winds.
8:31: 🌪 The interaction of tropical storms can lead to unpredictable paths and behavior, with the potential for record-breaking intensity.
12:33: 🌪 Satellite data shows that the intensity of tropical Cyclones has been increasing due to global warming, but there hasn't been a significant increase in their frequency.

Wow. Is that actual satellite footage of Typhoon Tip in 1979? Looks so modern. I didn't know we had that clarity back then.

They probably cleaned up the footage and upscaled it for the vid but still

@@gunrunnerak4774 I've heard that some 20 years ago. Still the 1979 weather satellite must be in geostationary orbit which is a very high orbit and that footage is pretty wild
I’m gonna be transparent here, the amount of storms we’ve been receiving has not been abnormal for the last 20 years. Back when we had hurricane katrina we literally went through the entire Greek alphabet and that was in the 2000s. What we have to pay closer attention to is the speed of intensity and not the amount of storms as that has a lot to do with not just how hot the ocean is but different wind patterns impacting the storms stability.
Always surprises me when Hurricane Michael isn’t mentioned in videos about Hurricanes. The first Cat 5 to hit the contiguous US in over 20 years and the first Cat 5 in recorded history to hit the panhandle.
I feel like this video is focused mostly on the Pacific Basin. I noticed many mistakes in data that can only be explained if the film creator was only discussing the Pacific Basin in certain sections. Just an observation 🤔
It is the first... we all know it won't be the last. We got Ian on the Gulf Coast last year, now Idalia, both were weaker than a cat 5 on landfall, but we're still getting big storms. Why is it almost always the 'I' storms? 🥲
@@Savage.-_.Gamer1 The answer is development time. (I'm a meteorology student, so not a professional, but someone with a good chunk of knowledge) In a typical Atlantic Hurricane season, the 'I' storms will typically form in late August through September or 'Peak Season' where seas surface temperatures are at their highest, aiding development. Examples would be Ian (2022) from September 23-30, Irma (2017) August 30th-September 12, and Ike (2008) September 1-14. I hope this helped!

3:07 This is not true. The storm becomes a tropical cyclone once it has a closed isobar, which can happen as low as 40kmh (25mph). 118kmh (74mph) is when it becomes a hurricane, but tropical storms and depressions of weaker winds are also tropical cyclones
it requires more than a closed isobar, it needs well defined circulation and 100% of its energy has to be from warm air/water

I would argue against the frequency of storms. Frequency of BIG storms increase, for sure. But because the air is getting warmer, it holds a lot more moisture in the atmosphere. This in effect means that raincloud have a harder time precipitating as they need a lot more moisture before they start falling. So severe storms will come more often, but they are fairly rare before so on a whole, you will see less number of storms overall with a hotter climate but those that do forms will likely be stronger on average. At least that will be the case at first. If we warm the climate enough, that might change entirely.

Selective info alert: Yes, 2020 had 31 storms and 14 hurricanes, and this year we're at 15 storms and 6 hurricanes already. But last year only had a total of 14 storms and 8 hurricanes, while 2019 had 18 storms and 6 hurricanes. It's not like storm numbers are consistently high.
Yes there are a bunch of factors at play which affect how many and where these storms form. Most notably the impact of wind sheer as well as the weather conditions like cloud cover dust abundance and sea surface temperature in the typical zones of formation. Both years listed had a number of factors at play restricting the formation of tropical cyclones off the coast of Africa but what does stand out here is that these years where storm building activity off the coast of Africa was suppressed we have seen the formation of tropical cyclones well outside the typical zone of formation particularly within or near the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.
There is some work looking to extend back our knowledge of storms with historical records going back to the area of colonialism and the imperial conquest of the Americas coupled with analyzing sediment samples to look for storm surge impacts to gauge the strength of cyclones that seems to support the idea that the lack of weaker storms to drain building up heat in the ocean can itself allow storms that do manage to form to have the fuel to become larger and stronger than typical. Basically like everything else its complicated when you did into the details.

With so many recent storms over the Atlantic, I have been wondering about them coming together and how they would behave. So thank you for doing this video.
Has anybody ever heard of the fujiwara affect it's when two tropical systems interact with one other the larger stronger system is the one that dominates
Could counter-rotating storms pair up? Would that make them more stable? Move faster? Stronger winds? Cancel out?
I also want to know
Storm rotation direction is controlled by the Coriolis effect which means this scenario is impossible at least in the case of two low pressure systems or even high pressure systems. That said if you were to be able to allow such storms to meet their net angular momentums would largely cancel out. The closest real example to this is the storms of Jupiter which can be defined into more "normal" low pressure cyclones and massive high pressure systems fueled by upwelling heat which on Jupiter can become visible if they become large and deep enough to dredge up deeper layers of the planet most notably seen with the great red spot.
@@Dragrath1 So it wouldn't be like how pair of counter-rotating whirlpools behave on the surface of water, or the sorta higher-dimensional analog, vortex rings?
Look at the number of Cat 5 hurricanes that number has gone up significantly over the past 25 years. Cat 5 were rare things 1 or 2 every 5 or 6 years now its 1 or 2 every year. The frequency has gone up and so has their power as now every storm breaks a new record. Mathew, Irma, Dorian and Ian just to name a recent few that set new records.

It was once thought that windshear was needed for a tornado to form. The 1997 Jarrell F5 tornado proved all scientists completely wrong. The CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) was 7,000 J/kg. An average, CAPE of 1000 J/Kg is usually sufficient for strong to severe storms. CAPE of 3,000 to 4,000 J/Kg or higher is usually a signal of a very volatile atmosphere. That's means the air was so unstable that the tornadoes that day didn't need any windshear to form. Neither Bridge Creek nor El Reno had CAPE that high. Bridge Creek is the fastest windspeeds RECORDED. And the correct rating was F5 not EF5. The enhanced Fujita scale wasn't implemented until 2007. So the windspeeds for the original Fujita scale were rated higher than the EF scale.
And yes, tornado bias is true. Jarrell was one of the WORST tornadoes to hit the US. Yet only Bridge Creek, Joplin, Tri State, and El Reno get all the attention.
Only the real enthusiasts know that Smithville, Hackleburg-Phil Campbell, Philadelphia, Andover, and others are right at the top!

Terrific archival footage and excellent discussion
For some reason to me, hugo has always stood in my mind as a unique storm. Most likely because a year or so after it happened, I took a trip from my home near orlando, fl to visit relatives in charlotte, nc. As such, the trip was just a run up i-95. But even that year or so later, the devastation was still on full display. As you could see the corridor where the strong winds were by all the trees flattened to the ground in one direction.
That said, I swear at one point it had 3 eyes, but I see no record mentioning it. And I see nothing in a quick google search about any hurricane with three eyes. I swear there was one once and it made the news. However, like other memories, I must have confused it with a dream or something. Two eyes have happened, but a triple eye just has google kicking back about cat 3 storms.

There haven't been more storms than before. The difference is now they name everything. Only in the past few years have they started naming snow storms. Now any low pressure front with some rain in the Atlantic gets a name. If anything, the number of destructive hurricanes has gone down and not up. A few years ago no hurricanes hit the US east coast for several years. This is sensationalism at its finest
Lalalalala I can't hear you it's not real!
Have you ever watched the vid? In the end they actually said that the ammount per year didnt really change.. Only the average intensity of the storms
"they started naming snow storms" is just the weather channel seeking profits
low pressure frontal systems in the atlantic are called nor'easters, which even the weather channel doesn't name
Also another reason east Pakistan had a lot of deaths is because Pakistan has a different Hurricane Scale Then east Pakistan because Pakistan hurricane scale is 1-4 And they said 4 to East Pakistan but east Pakistan uses 1-10 So east Pakistan thought that it was a category four hurricane So they did not worry about it

@@ThePizzarankerXP I'm sorry to tell you but this is a quote from the Australian institute for marine science
www.aims.gov.au
Cyclones develop over warm waters in the tropical regions of the oceans where areas of very low pressure are created by air being heated by the sun. This causes the air to rise very rapidly and becomes saturated with moisture that condenses into large thunderclouds.
So heat as quite a lot to do with it but just a misconception
The costliest hurricane ever (Katrina) actually formed, intensified and peaked outside of the tropics, weakening to an C4 and then hitting land as C3.
That was largely due to the location. New Orleans is below sea level and the levies didn't hold
We have enough guns here in Florida to take down a hurricane. Don’t worry my fellow Americans. We got this. 😂

That would be atmospheric pressure at sea level.
There are more named storms because they changed the criteria for what allows storms to get a name. Not saying that there haven't been more storms, but that definitely adds nuance and makes it more difficult to compare. You can't just make a blanket statement like that

I think it is wonderful that the real science team is talking about this very important topic!
That being said there were a lot of mixed terminology, miss-categorization, and confused language that are worth correcting. Also it is fun for me to brush-up on my meteorology.
Disclosure: Climate change is going to be the greatest challenge of our generation and beyond and should be taken very seriously!
When referring to hurricane's speed using the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, it is more correct to say "From a category 1 hurricane, to a category 5 hurricane" rather than saying from a cat 1 storm to cat 5 storm. While it is not technically incorrect to call a hurricane a storm, it lacks specificity.
Saying stuff like "there seems to be more of them than ever" is not a very scientific open to your the video. While it certainly does seem that way, I would have omitted that, as it is shear conjecture. Not baseless, but if we are talking science, so let the data speak for itself.
There were 30 named Atlantic storms in 2020, true. Since the previous most active season of 1933, we have come a long way in the technology we use to sense tropical cyclones. It is entirely possible that some of these records set in the 2020 season occurred previous or were exceeded by tropical cyclones in prior seasons.
I also think it is worth pointing out that one shouldn't extrapolate the record of cyclones in the Atlantic first when discussing a worldwide crisis. For reference below is the worldwide data on cyclones occurrences:
2022: 87 2012: 88 2001: 88
2021: 94 2011: 75 2000: 89
2020: 104 2010: 68 1999: 74
2019: 98 2009: 85 1998: 89
2018: 103 2008: 90 1997: 97
2017: 84 2007: 80 1996: 98
2016: 83 2006: 81 1995: 75
2015: 95 2005: 96 1994: 93
2014: 77 2004: 86 1993: 78
2013: 90 2003: 85 1992: 101
2002: 81 1991: 79
The data worldwide is a lot less shocking than one might expect. There has been a sight increase in cyclone frequencies over the last decade. but when taken by itself, it's not exactly alarming.
"There is perhaps an even more terrifying thought. Can there hurricanes even combine to create one WORLD ALTERING hurricane.?" The short answer, it's complicated. My knowledge of the Fujiwhara Effect is limited, but from my understanding is it tends to be subtractive rather than additive to hurricane strength. There is the unpredictable element of that question which has merit - and is covered in the video - but the likelihood they combine and join forces is highly improbable.
The anatomy of the cyclone graphics and the general description were amazing! Well done!
Hurricane Sandy had a wind "gust" of 145km/hr or 90mph at continental landfall. Usually when hurricane windspeeds are referenced, meteorologists are referring to the sustained windspeed, which is distinct from the max recorded wind gusts. Hurricane Sandy had a windspeed of 80mph (129km/hr) and landfall...
Tragically, the cdc.gov official death toll for Sandy in the USA was actually much higher at 117 people. "A total of 117 deaths were reported on Red Cross mortality forms. The source of information for the mortality forms was a medical examiner/coroner for 94 (80.3%) cases and the family of the decedent for 10 (8.5%) cases. Most deaths occurred in New York (53 [45.3%]) and New Jersey (34 [29.1%]); the other deaths occurred in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Maryland. The deaths occurred during October 28-November 29, 2012. Approximately half of the deaths (60 [51.3%]) occurred on the first 2 days of the storm's landfall, with a peak of 37 deaths on October 30, 2012."
The devastation a cyclone has on a population is largely dependent on hurricane preparedness and infrastructure. In places like Florida where Hurricanes are common, the toll a hurricane has human life is fortunately minimal as seen in recent years. Hurricane Idalia (a Cat. 4 at landfall) had a death toll of 4. Any number of deaths is a tragedy, but I think the preparation and response to Idalia is before and after is a great model for how a population should respond to an incoming hurricane.
I think this is a great video all things considered, but the emphasis on "WHAT IF THE TWO CYCLONES HAD COMBINED" and "WORLD ALTER HURRICANE" is sensationalized almost to the point of absurdity. The actual science was good and the climate change message is spot on, but if the premise that undergirds this presentation is hinges on qualifiers like could, potential, and seems maybe the focus should be reformulated. If the same data is presented in a different order and with difference emphasis, the entire story takes on a different, much less "impending doom" meaning.
Idk, some people are super into worst case scenarios, it's just not my cup of tea.
why tropical cyclones become weaker when they absorb another (which typically does NOT happen, they just circulate around one another as a byproduct of the Fujiwhara Effect) is due to the competing circulations of their central vortexes. The stronger cyclone will get weaker since the weaker storm can disrupt the structure of the stronger one.
It's a shame that aviation is a massive polluter and all the politicians that push climate change's severity keep riding private jets, while simultaneously ignoring and even obstructing less polluting avgas because the companies that make it lobby for such apathy. Or that China is still massively using coal, even though they have plenty of access to nuclear fuel, the technology, and rapid manufacturing that would allow them to be far more eco-friendly. And car manufacturing, regardless of what it runs on, still produces more harm than running old cars not equipped with catalytic converters or EGR systems.
If these weren't the reality, people like me would be more inclined to believe that mankind's contribution to climate change was actually serious.
It's kinda like how a certain political faction will push that we need to lockdown and shelter indoors to "flatten the bell curve" and then completely ignore the border, and constantly get caught partying and trying to weasel past their own restrictions when it suits them, and that's not even addressing all the other shady stuff.
Fact remains that we're still in the middle of the 4th ice age, in a warming period that's 10 millennia old, and is expected to last another 10 millennia. When the leaders pushing the message start to take it more seriously, and stop expecting everyone other than themselves to adhere to their proposed measures, and when the CCP actually starts even TRYING to mitigate their carbon footprint, I'll care. Oh and let's not forget all the new cars produced.
china invests and uses more renewable energy than the us and china has better public transport based on electricity, rather than the diesel trains that run on metro north

13:25 What happened in that 2006-2015ish zone? i know the graph before showed lesser storms as well, but why? what happened over those years. why the anomaly? or would a longer time period data set show more anomalies?
A huge constant influx of Saharan dust across the Atlantic suppressed hurricane development. But, the downside is the water continued to heat.
I think what you may be wondering about is El Niño-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO. During el nino years, the atlantic basin tends to be less active with hurricanes, and during la nina years, it tends to be more active. This is a natural cycle that effects the climate and sea surface temperatures in various parts of the tropics.

Plant food
Methane comes more from cow burps than cow farts by the way. Thanks to that weird way they process food with 4 chambered stomachs and cud. While smoking is bad for us humans, imagine a cow pulling a bong and burping!!!
Coal fossil fuels
Hurricane Saola hit Hong Kong on September 1-2 and Saola was strong 230km/h winds speeds. The observatory issued T10 Hurricane signal and it was just 30km (19miles) away from Hong kong .and on September 7 we encountered the strongest rain storm of all time in Hong kong 600mm and it happened for 16 hours
So my take away from this is: less small to medium size tropical storms! Dope! Keep up the good work. The world needs more good news
Is the only tropical cyclone nightmare in your mind the 2020 Central Vietnam floods?
Yes, Lee intensified very quickly, but is not the first to do so. Look up Typhoon Rai/Odette from 2021. (160km / 100 miles increased wind speed)

What the heck is a kilometer? and what does Celsius equate to?
A kilometer is .621 miles or for simplification sake 1 kilometer is about 2 miles. Celsius is another scale of temperature used in Europe. For example 60 degrees fahrenheit is about 15 degrees Celsius.
The hurricane in thumbnail looks like Milton...
Instant stroms... sharknado is coming
remember the perfect storm of 1991 was 3 storm systems that merge and one of the storms was hurricane grace.
"Two cyclones merging into a mega cyclone" is just patently false and impossible. Think about it -- the two storms, no matter from what direction they approach each other, will *always* be rotating in the opposite direction. the point where they touch would always be severely windsheared, breaking the structure of both storms before they merge.
I love how if there are a lot of storms one year its climate change but barely any the next year its silence from the same people.
My Prayers Go Out To Everyone Who Has Gone Through A Hurricane ❤❤❤❤
Realize they collide like black holes do, they exchange angular momentum and orbit around a point that becomes the new eye
Ya know like two spiral galaxies colliding
Hurricane Lee could have been the first ever Atlantic 200 MPH storm...
Hurricanes joining to form Voltron!
We had a fujiwara effect last spring in the Bay Area and a eye wall formed. I remember being being in Millbrae looking up and seeing walls of clouds.
I’ve noticed this show always pronounces Caribbean incorrectly. Have a little look at how it’s pronounced in the Caribbean and in English elsewhere.
A lower pressure will also help to evaporate water. 73% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level is no joke.
great video! really insightful and well-researched. but honestly, i’ve been thinking: isn’t it a bit misleading to say that heat isn’t the main factor? i mean, while other elements play a role, isn’t the rising ocean temperature a huge contributor to hurricane intensity? would love to hear more thoughts on this!
