Abstract
"The first half of the season has not seen the unfavorable upper-level wind conditions in the western Atlantic that are typically observed in an El Niño year", says meteorologist Ryan Truchelut of WeatherTiger, a weather consulting firm based in Tallahassee, Fla. But so far in 2023, El Niño hasn't done much to minimize hurricane formation or dampen the storms' power. While Hurricane Lee gained steam, tropical storm Jova in the eastern Pacific transformed into a C ategory 4 hurricane within 36 hours. [Extracted from the article]
