September 28, 1942 – A tropical storm curves around Bermuda with marginal tropical storm-force winds. [68] October 3, 1942 – Winds blow around 45 mph (70 km/h) as a tropical storm passes to the east. [68] August 24, 1943 – A major hurricane passes to the west, delivering a period of hurricane-force winds to Bermuda. [68]
Bermuda is most likely to be affected by tropical storms when the Bermuda High, a persistent summer season high pressure system, is strong and sags westward during the peak of hurricane season ...
The "Bermuda high" is a high-pressure system located over the Atlantic Ocean that borrows its name from a nearby island chain and has the ability to influence the movement of tropical systems in ...
A tropical cyclone rainfall climatology can be used to help forecast current or upcoming tropical cyclone impacts. The degree of a tropical cyclone rainfall impact depends upon speed of movement, storm size, and degree of vertical wind shear. One of the most significant threats from tropical cyclones is heavy rainfall. Large, slow moving, and ...
The first dynamical hurricane track forecast model, the Sanders Barotropic Tropical Cyclone Track Prediction Model (SANBAR), [9] was introduced in 1970 and was used by the National Hurricane Center as part of its operational track guidance through 1989. It was based on a simplified set of atmospheric dynamical equations (the equivalent ...
The tropical cyclone's wind intensity increased from a 50-mph tropical storm at 4 p.m. CDT on Monday to a 165-mph Category 5 hurricane at 1:00 a.m. CDT on Wednesday. Since making landfall, the ...
The Azores High also known as North Atlantic (Subtropical) High/Anticyclone or the Bermuda-Azores High, is a large subtropical semi-permanent centre of high atmospheric pressure typically found south of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, at the Horse latitudes. It forms one pole of the North Atlantic oscillation, the other being the Icelandic Low.
The center of the hurricane moved over Bermuda on Saturday, but drenching rain and tropical storm-force wind gusts were already underway Friday over the tiny island, which is about a third of the ...
