True or False.

Answer to Weather Quiz question from
August 6.
C. Andrew. Although, Katrina, Rita and Isabel were all
Category 5 hurricanes, they were only at this intensity while over the open sea
and each weakened before making landfall. This Monday (August 24) is the 23rd
anniversary of when Andrew became only the third Category 5 hurricane on record
to make landfall in the United States.
True. Is El Nino responsible for what seems like a more quiet hurricane season this year?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your answer. To see if you are correct, check out my new question I posted this morning. And yes, the developing El Nino has played a role in helping making conditions more unfavorable for tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean this year.
