Six Tropical Storms Simultaneously Active in Southern Hemisphere
Six tropical storms were reported in the Southern Hemisphere yesterday. Three cyclones were active in the South Pacific and another three in the Indian Ocean, tying a record from 1989. Factors contributing to the storm formation include warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind shear associated with La Nina.
On Tuesday, six tropical storms, also known as cyclones, occurred simultaneously in the Southern Hemisphere, specifically in the South Pacific and southern Indian Oceans, marking the first instance since 1989. This unusual weather was characterized by three cyclones in the South Pacific and three in the Indian Ocean, coinciding with the ongoing tropical season that spans from November to April.
The Southern Hemisphere has experienced an extraordinary tropical cyclone event, with six storms active simultaneously, a rare occurrence not seen in decades. Factors such as warm sea-surface temperatures and weak wind shear related to La Nina have fueled this cyclone activity, surpassing historical averages with significant storm energy levels at this stage of the season.
