Lets see how an algorithm interprets inside of Hurricane Beryl from the view of a Hurricane Hunter Airplane.
Hurricane Beryl was different from other hurricanes in several ways, including:
formation: Beryl was the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic. It formed in late June 2024, which is unusually early in the hurricane season.
Rapid intensification: Beryl intensified from a tropical depression to a Category 5 hurricane in 42 hours. This is unprecedented for June.
Record-breaking ocean temperatures: Beryl was fueled by record-breaking warm ocean temperatures.
Low wind shear: Beryl formed during a period of lower-than-average vertical wind shear.
Climate change: Beryl's extreme winds and heavy precipitation were strengthened by climate change.
Unpredictability: Beryl's formation highlighted the increasing unpredictability of tropical weather patterns.
Impacts
Beryl caused about $6 billion in damages in the U.S. alone.
Beryl killed at least 60 people during landfalls in the Caribbean, Yucatán Peninsula, and U.S. Gulf Coast.
Beryl caused near-total devastation on islands in Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Beryl decimated staple crops such as plantains, yams, cassava, breadfruit, ackee, mangoes, and bananas
