Hurricanes Humberto & Imelda to Merge in Atlantic, Spare US
Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda, currently active in the Atlantic, are set to merge into a single system tomorrow. This event, known as the Fujiwhara effect, will see the two storms rotate around a common center before gradually weakening over the Atlantic. Despite the interaction, the merged system is not expected to affect the continental United States.
The Fujiwhara effect, named after Japanese meteorologist Sakuhei Fujiwhara, can result in three possible outcomes: absorption, merger, or a change in trajectory. In this case, Humberto and Imelda are expected to merge, with Humberto's outer bands already lashing Bermuda as it approaches the island. A hurricane warning has been issued for Bermuda due to the impending threat.
Meanwhile, in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Octave has formed, adding to the global tally of active storms.
As Humberto and Imelda merge, Bermuda braces for impact, while the United States mainland watches from a distance. The Atlantic remains active, with the Fujiwhara effect shaping the future of these powerful storms.
