In some cases, the onset of rapid intensification is preceded by the large release of convective instability from moist air (characterized by high equivalent potential temperature), enabling an increase in convection around the center of the tropical cyclone. [11] Rapid intensification events may also be related to the character and ...

The forecast of rapid intensification of Helene from a potential tropical cyclone to a Category 3 hurricane appears to be the fastest progression ever predicted for a depression by the National ...
While attaining this intensity, the cyclone turned north-northeastward under the influence of an anticyclonic circulation south of Myanmar and a nearby trough. [26] High ocean heat content over the Bay of Bengal fueled a period of rapid intensification, bringing Mocha to
Freddy was the first tropical cyclone to undergo seven separate rounds of rapid intensification. [1] It was also one of only four systems to traverse the entire southern Indian Ocean from east to west, along with cyclones Litanne in 1994 as well as Leon–Eline and Hudah in 2000. [32]
Rapid intensification refers to a process when tropical storms and hurricanes quickly become stronger. Specifically, it means a storm's wind speed increases by at least 35 mph within 24 ho. As ...
On 15 February at 03:00 UTC, the JTWC reported that the cyclone re-strengthened and underwent another period of rapid intensification, reaching Category 4-equivalent intensity; [17] post-analysis by the JTWC revealed that the cyclone had already reached Category 5-equivalent intensity, [18] with 1-minute sustained winds of 270 km/h (165 mph). [19]
What to know about rapid intensification. Warmer sea surface temperatures may contribute to an increased fraction of tropical cyclones that undergo rapid intensification, Climate Central said Tuesday.
