In September, typically the most active months is when it's about tropical storms, has become now quite interesting. So far we got in the alphabet of tropical storm names this season ahead more slowly, but in recent days, a speed up was switched.
"Florence" has now passed into the North Atlantic and is converted into a strong extratropical storm. Behind it was "Gordon", this compact storm has blossomed rather quickly into a hurricane of category 3. Thus Gordon is the first so-called "major hurricane" in the Atlantic this season. The storm is much smaller than Florence, but also much better organized. The conditions were, and are also almost perfect, no shear, which could interfere with the vortex, rate and still high water temperatures around 28 ° C. Gordon will be on land but not a threat, so it's a "fish storm", a term that is used by many meteorologists and hurricane chasers to clarify that if all the fish are likely to be annoyed by this hurricane.
Further east is the Atlantic even more uneasy, from the former Tropical Depression No. 8 has recently Tropical Storm "Helen" has become. This system will develop only slowly and first step, but the next hurricane in the Atlantic is relatively safe. A threat to the country, so for the Caribbean, the United States or Mexico (Ostseite!) is not currently in sight. Most storms in the Atlantic turn in time to the north and north-east before they get close to the continent. This is in contrast to the last two years, as a stable high pressure area from the Atlantic to the eastern United States and gave the more southern storms are thus often moved west across Florida and the Gulf.
