‘Zombie’ Hurricane Spotted Over The Atlantic
Written by Site Hub on September 23, 2020
The National Weather Service has just announced that a “zombie” hurricane is coming back to life.
Hurricane Paulette formed as one of 5 simultaneous active tropical cyclones back in September. She strengthened to a category 2 hurricane and made landfall in Bermuda on September 14, then lost speed and her designation as she drifted north east back into the Atlantic.
It was then that weather patterns allowed her to form back into a hurricane.
According to CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller:
“Conditions can become hostile for a tropical storm to maintain its intensity, but if it doesn’t dissipate completely, it can revive days later when conditions become more favorable. 2020 is a good candidate to experience a zombie storm because water temperatures are above average over a bulk of the Atlantic Ocean, and obviously we are seeing a record number of storms — which ups the chances one could regenerate,”
