Watch Hurricane Dorian tormenting over the ocean

Cameras affixed to the International Space Station filmed Thursday afternoon Hurricane Dorian over the Atlantic Ocean.

National Hurricane Center forecasters expect the hurricane to hit Florida in the form of a powerful Category 4 storm around Labor Day, which will ultimately be around 130mph. Over the next few days, the storm will intensify as it moves on exceptionally warm waters (warm oceans feed the hurricanes).

"No matter where you live along the southeastern coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico, it's a storm that deserves our full attention," Mashable said Wednesday. Brian Tang, atmospheric scientist at the University of Albany.

A number of favorable weather conditions (in case of a storm) will contribute to the hurricane. Indeed, the storm is expected to experience very little wind shear – opposing winds that weaken or tear hurricanes. There is little in advance that can stop the storm.

"The shear environment is very weak," said Wednesday Jeff Weber, a meteorologist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. "The storm is not torn."

Dorian arrives at the houras the hurricane season is just around the corner. The activity of tropical storms in the Atlantic usually accelerates after Labor Day.

Although there is no tendency for more hurricanes to form in the Atlantic Ocean, it is clear that hurricanes are strengthening and hurricane scientists expect this trend to continue. in the next decades.

Dorian is expected to hit the "hot" surface waters of the Bahamas, Weber noted. This will probably amplify the storm.

The warm waters can and have, recently overheated, major hurricanes. Research has shown that exceptional warm waters outweigh other factors that allow recent storms to intensify into powerful cyclones. In addition, all oceans – which absorb more than 90% of the heat generated by human activities – are heating up continuously and relentlessly.
