Hurricanes Gordon and Helene plow through the water
Hurricane Gordon will make in the coming days in the Azores for very stormy weather. Currently the storm is a category 1 far west of the island group in the open Atlantic Ocean, in the course of Tuesday he will reach the islands. He will be (slowly because of the slow down to below 26 ° C declining due to increasing water temperatures and wind shear) something. Currently, the average wind speed at 150 km / h can be estimated, with stronger gusts. The Azores could still weakening despite hurricanes noticed also threatening heavy rain.
further south, but almost on the same latitude, there is Hurricane Helene. This tropical storm is currently a "major hurricane" Category 3, with mean wind speeds of just over 200 km / h. In the coming three days is expected to stay with Helene continued favorable conditions, a storm of Category 3, maybe he even manages to Category 4, the second highest level. First, the storm is moving northwest, then west. Whether the flow over the eastern United States then the hurricane "aufpickt" and deflected to the north, is still not entirely sure. At least in the coming days in the U.S. and Caribbean landfall not expected. But Bermuda could come later in the sphere of influence of Helene.
