Milton is the only category 5 hurricane in Atlantic records (HURDATv2, 1851-present) to have any sort of a southeasterly motion vector:

Tropical cyclones, including hurricanes and typhoons, rank among the most costly natural hazards. Recent research has revealed an increasing trend in the destructiveness of tropical cyclones over t…

Our work provides evidence that storm-resolving resolution may help us better understand the role of tropical storms in the climate system and predict their behavior in a warming climate.

#2 The observed relationship between high intensification rate and small inner-core size ('pinhole eye') is also captured reasonably well

We analysed in two fully coupled global climate models with atmospheric resolutions ~5 km. Our paper presents two key findings. #1 Tropical cyclone intensification rates are close to those observed in the real world, rapid intensification is captured

Simulating strong tropical storms with climate models is challenging because important processes that act to intensify a storm occur over spatial scales that are too small for global models to capture. Typical models lack sufficient resolution in the atmosphere and ocean.

Colorado State University has increased forecast & calls for extremely active 2024 Atlantic #hurricane season with 25 named storms (including Alberto, #Beryl, Chris), 12 hurricanes & 6 major hurricanes. Very warm Atlantic continues, while #LaNina likely. https://t.co/y3q5SmEuyo

A successful launch for the #EarthCARE satellite! First conceived 30 years ago at @UniofReading, it will gather vital information about clouds & aerosols which will help us improve weather forecasts & climate models. Well done everyone involved! https://t.co/HI4bsnfCVM

Europe's Earthcare satellite will tell us if the planet could lose the cooling effect of clouds.

In state-of-the-art #climate models, with resolutions of just a few km, simulated tropical #cyclones are much more like those in the real world. I've written about this new research in a blog for the @nextgems_eu project. https://t.co/arNV9ODKgW
