After peaking in intensity, further strengthening was halted by an eyewall replacement cycle, causing the storm to weaken to Category 4 intensity later that night, [4] [27] [28] but a larger eye became increasingly well-defined, and Milton re-achieved Category 5 intensity by the afternoon of October 8, [6] by which time the hurricane had ...
Concentric eyewalls seen in Typhoon Haima as it travels west across the Pacific Ocean.. In meteorology, eyewall replacement cycles, also called concentric eyewall cycles, naturally occur in intense tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds greater than 33 m/s (64 kn; 119 km/h; 74 mph), or hurricane-force, and particularly in major hurricanes of Saffir–Simpson category 3 to 5.
Luckily for the sake of the research, one such case of eyewall replacement occurred during the study of Hurricane Rita. In tropical cyclones maximum wind speed of the storm, which occurs at the eyewall, is a primary indicator of its overall strength which is important in predicting overall intensity.
•Milton has made landfall on Siesta Key near Sarasota along the west-central coast of Florida Wednesday evening as a major hurricane. •A life-threatening and highly destructive storm surge ...
The ominous eye of Hurricane Milton is visible in stunning detail from outer space in a timeplapse video released Tuesday by NASA.. From 275 miles above Earth, the powerful storm can be seen ...
Shortly after reaching its peak intensity, Kong-rey started to slightly weaken as it went through eyewall replacement cycle moving northwestwards. The storm later made a historic landfall over Chenggong, Taitung in Taiwan, marking the first major typhoon to make landfall in the country after mid-October, and the largest typhoon to hit since ...

Ten Atlantic hurricanes—Camille, Allen, Andrew, Isabel, Ivan, Dean, Felix, Irma, Maria, and Milton—reached Category 5 intensity on more than one occasion; that is, by reaching Category 5 intensity, weakening to a Category 4 status or lower, and then becoming a Category 5 hurricane again. Such hurricanes have their dates shown together.
