“The East Pacific has, East Pacific has been very active so far, you know, we're about a month into its hurricane season. This is the fifth named storm, the second hurricane. And those two are about a month ahead of normal, so you know it's definitely been an above average season so far.”

“It just seems that the atmosphere is just very warmed and sort of primed for thunderstorms right now in that area. That there's been a lot of...I was looking at some maps over the last couple of weeks, there's just been a lot of active convection, active thunderstorms in that region. And then disturbances that have kind of propagated through have been able to capitalize on that and sort spin up into the storms we've seen.”

STORYLINE:
Doubling in strength in less than a day and expected to further grow into a major hurricane, Hurricane Erick chugged through the ideal environment to power up quickly as it approached the Mexican southern coast.
This type of rapid intensification has become more common in a warmer climate, especially in the Atlantic and near the United States, which is not where Erick is now, scientists said. Last year, there were there 34 incidents of rapid intensification — when a storm gains at least 35 mph in 24 hours — which is about twice as much as average and caused problems with forecasting, according to the Na...
